This wine comes from 20- to 25-year-old vines and had 10-12 months of ageing in large vats. It has a very deep purple, near opaque appearance. The nose leads with a medium-intensity aromatic set of cream/custard, vanilla, mulberry preserve, tar/cold hickory smoke, black pepper and a floral/lilac tone. It is dry on the palate with a medium-minus acidity, a medium minus extract, medium-minus squeaky and powdery fine-textured tannins, a medium minus body and lovely length and fruit that follows the nose – mulberry preserve, cold hickory smoke/tar, black pepper and flowers – and a medium finish. 2025-2029–IR
