Iris Malbec Merlot 2022

Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

5 stars / 93pts 

Violets and plums mingle with smoky toast and a touch of char on the nose, while wild berries hint at the coming richness. The palate is powerful yet balanced, boasting a concentrated fruit weight. Charred meat and black fruit integrate with oak flavours, lifted by a vein of crunchy minerality. Stylish and expressive, a touch of floral character adds intrigue to this powerful, yet balanced Malbec Merlot blend. Enjoy now - 2029.
