Demonstrating incredible elegance, depth and intensity, this is a wine in its purest form, having undergone no form of stabilization treatment. Produced from our oldest vineyards, and aged for 12 months in new French and American oak, the colour is dark and intense, with complex aromas of black fruit, roasted coffee, chocolate and spices. The aftertaste is balanced and very persistent.
