Impenetrable ruby colour. It seems amazing that such old vines - many of them over 100 years of age - should produce a nose of such piercing freshness and elegance alongside the more profound, fatly red fruited and darkly rich perfume. The nose is both high tensile, taut and profound, and then the palate finesses this, by being initially calm, measured, authoritative just so relaxed with powder fine tannins. But then a freshness, purity and intense concentration to the finish. Richly flavoured and super refined this is a magical wine with the subtlety of one year old Barrels (ex Flor de Pingus) to frame this profound quality.
