This is from very old parcels with vines over 85 years old – a field blend, foot-trodden. Intensely coloured, this delivers pretty high-powered, fresh fruit on the nose, blueberry and blackberry, raspberries and hints of tobacco. The texture of the palate is lovely, lush, ripe and sumptuous. The tannic structure is noble, supporting more savoury notes and mineral punch. Layered and complex and very fine, this has a very poised, stylish finish.
