Corymbia Red Blend 2020

54% Tempranillo, 46% Malbec.  Swan Valley vines, over 35 years of age. The Swan Valley most often takes whatever is thrown at it, and says, “OK, that’s fine, I’ll still do something!”

So distinctive. So of a place. I’m thinking fresh blackberry, rain on a hot road, star anise, leather, pepper and rosemary. Black fruit, coffee, black olives, earthy and saline, boysenberry and tar, and yet spicy and vigorous, with a dirty come-hither chew and sooty tannin, and a long umami finish. Wonderful wine. Charismatic. Love this. Drink 2021-2030. 95 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
