Vintage 2023

The 2023 vintage is widely reported to have been the most difficult and challenging in at least the past 20 years.

Written Notes

Violet Beauregard Malbec Langhorne Creek 2023 ($) – Apparently, Violet Beauregard is a character in Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, a book I have not read and a film I have not seen. I am assuming the link is chocolate flavours? As far as I can ascertain, this wine is a great deal more pleasant than Violet. It is a cracking Malbec. 

Crimson red, this is plush and hedonistic, with all of the flavour Langhorne Creek can muster. Notes of plums, blueberries, mulberries, chocolate and coffee beans. Utterly delicious, this is supple with a cushiony texture leading through to velvety tannins. Generous throughout, leading to a lingering finish. Love it. It will sail through the next ten years, but if you want to turn Friday night in front of the footy into something special, crack a bottle. 94
