From a top vintage and, boy, does it show. Old vines and a strong vintage bring a deep sense of presence, quality, harmony and elegance to the glass. Earthy elements meld seamlessly with layers of blackberry, dark plum, sage, aniseed and a lively black pepperiness. Oak is fully integrated – no angles, no outsized presence – just folded beautifully in between fruit, spice, earth and flesh with fine tannins rendering a complex whole. Your patience will be rewarded.
