This Château Malbat Bordeaux is a deep ruby-red colored wine with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and cassis.On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a good balance of acidity and tannins. Flavors of blackberry, currant, and herbal notes are complemented by hints of clove, pepper, and vanilla. The finish is long, with a lingering spiciness and a hint of sweetness. Overall, this is a classic, well-rounded Bordeaux and a great representation of the appellation.
