The Waxed Bat Shiraz Cabernet Malbec 2014

<p> Opi Sadler’s colleagues have nicknamed him "The Magician," thanks to his uncanny ability to draw out the most magical qualities in grapes – a talent that's helped put the fine wine spotlight on Argentina. His Waxed Bat is even more special – vintage after vintage, Opi conjures up this acclaimed blend of berry-rich Shiraz, inky-black Malbec and chocolatey Cabernet. The 2014 is every bit as sumptuous and dark as his previous releases and (no surprise) is already garnering acclaim from top competitions like the International Wine & Spirit Competition. </p> <p> A single sip will reveal why Decanter World Wine Awards judges described past vintages as “so thick you could paint with it.” Expect a deep, dark glassful, starting with aromas of lush blackberry and notes of violet, smoke, pepper and licorice. On the palate, layers of rich black fruit flavour and oaky complexity. Look for that trademark long, smooth finish. Delicious with a big, juicy cut of steak. </p> <p> Another Opi trademark? Small batches. Which means we recommend you get your share ordered today. </p>
