2018 Familia Zuccardi Malbec Q Valle de Uco

Bright colour, vanillin nose with long, silky tannins. Medium bodied and light footed, like a snow leopard leaving minimal tracks. This is an enjoyable expression of the style. 14.5% ABV. I did wonder about the addition of another variety or two to add structure.

2009 Devil's Lair Chardonnay 9th Chamber Margaret River

Light golden colour. Cashew, pink grapefruit and French oak. Balancing acidity, toasty tannins, and complexity on the finish suggesting solids contact. Good length and well integrated. 13 years young, but when the back label recommends decanting you get the feeling this was quite big when younger. 13% ABV. Wow.

I’ve started drinking my Chardonnays a little earlier lately (this wine excluded) due to some recent disappointments, but there was still a lot of vibrancy left here.
