The 2011 de Malle has a satisfyingly delineated bouquet with fresh pineapple and white peach aromas that is more a case of finesse than power. The palate has a lovely coconut-tinged, viscous entry with a fine thread of acidity. The oak is rather dominant towards the finish, although it has decent fruit to maintain balance. This may offer more personality after bottling, and it has good potential. Drink 2014-2025. (Neal Martin) Score - 90-92. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com)
