The Islander Estate Vineyards The Independence Malbec 2016

G 90

From the flagship IEV range. Everything about this wine is big, from the bottle to the full-bodied giant that lives inside it. Ageing gracefully, bluer fruit and floral fragrances meld together, a bush and gravelly dustiness adding an earthy layering. The palate does well to pull its weight as big-time tannins wash in high-tide proportions. A bit of a brute, if you like that style. Dian cork. 14.5% alc Drink now–2030
