”Hand picked from centurion vines. Fermented traditionally in open tops, matured in French oak for 15 months (15% new). Dense. Mocha oak. Black fruits. Volcanic powdered rocks. Power and plenty of heat packed across the throaty finish. Yet there is a beguiling latency to this. I feel that what I am tasting will transmogrify into something truly compelling such are the florals, vinosity and creamy yet tightly furled core of compressed, succulent, glorious tannins.”
