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.
