Delatite Malbec 1997 750ml

Delatite Malbec 1997 is a rare Australian Malbec from Victoria’s High Country, now a collectible with developed complexity. Bottle age has softened the tannins and integrated the oak, delivering a poised, savory profile. Suited to cellar-minded collectors and pairing with grilled red meats, mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Tasting notes - Appearance: Deep garnet with a brick rim. - Aroma: Dried plum, blackberry, leather, tobacco, cocoa; hints of cedar. - Palate: Medium-bodied, velvety tannins; prune and dark fruit notes with cocoa and coffee; integrated oak; balanced acidity. - Finish: Long, savory, with spice and mineral undercurrents. - Pairings: Roast lamb, beef dishes, mushroom risottos, and aged cheeses. - Drinking window: Ready now with decanting; may evolve modestly with careful cellaring.
