This edition comes from grapes sourced from the 1960-planted vines called the Old Bamboo vineyard in Greenock. Here we begin to see the transformation of ripe red and black fruit into something more brooding and savoury. Dried cherries in chocolate, rhubarb stem and sandalwood. Opening to black cardamom, clove and coffee liqueur. Soft and supple tannins and a hint of sweetness across the palate. It’s vanilla pods and it’s indulgent. Drink now and serve with aged cheddar and homemade chutney.
