Drinking Window: 2021 - 2027
Deeply concentrated, powerful and rich, this bold wine is full of stewed blackberries, spiced plums and fresh blackcurrants. There is some fruit evolution with notes of dried blackberries and prunes. The palate is explosive! But it shows a soft, subtle power and grippy ripe tannins. From older vines.
