Woodlands Reserve de la Cave Malbec 2010
Long, firmish and profoundly varietal, with a spicy, earthy bouquet of blackberry pastille, cassis, raspberries and violets lifted by fresh, lightly smoky oak and backed by a hint of currant. Firm and dusty but a little raw edged and forward, the palate bursts with deep flavours of blackberry and beetroot, finishing with nuances of soy and iodine.

Woodlands
Established in 1973, Woodlands is still enjoying a stunning renaissance that shows no signs of slackening. It has developed its own house style - almost a prerequisite for greatness in wine - of deeply perfumed, pristine fruit integrated with fresh, fine-grained oak and underpinned by a classically fine, chalky backbone, often revealing the kind of dusty, dried herb qualities more often seen in Bordeaux than Australian cabernet. There's again an impressively even consistency and elegance about the current releases, as well as Woodlands' typical cellaring potential. Again, it's hard to pick highlights out of a collection of highlights.
