Domaine Les Remparts, Gouttes de lune, Malbec 2017 from France

This is 60% Malbec and 40% Tannat. There are aromas of oak, blackberry, blackcurrant and additional flavours black cherry but the tannins and dryness are too much and detract from any fruit that can be tasted. After trying the wine over a few days we came to the conclusion that this should have been left for another 3 or 4 years to allow it to soft up. At under £10 a bottle there are easier reds to try.
