This wine is made from grapes grown on naturally low yielding, 23 year old vines. As a consequence, the fruit has concentration, depth and complexity in flavour. On the nose, the wine expresses cassis and intricacies of black doris plum and pepper. On the palate it is opulent and velvety in texture, full of seduction and is well poised, demanding of your attention. This wine is both intense and delicate, has lovely body, with supple juicy fruit and spice paving the way to great textural mouth feel and solid, shapely tannin structure. A lovely reflection of the 2020 season.
