Sourced from 65 year old vines, this was matured for 32 months in French oak hogsheads. Opaque black dark red colour with very dark red hue. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and dark chocolate are followed by spice, spearmint and confectionary notes. Medium to full bodied the palate displays ripe and generous flavours of blackcurrant and dark chocolate followed by some spice and a hint of mint. Very dry finish, the fruit is beginning to fade and dry out. Slightly chalky, dryish tannins with aftertaste of spice, blackcurrant and dried leather.
