Flying in the face of tradition, this vinous gauntlet – an early released 500-bottle batch – is aged for the minimum period (two years) in used French oak barriques after fermenting naturally and spent five months on skins. Medium dry with 50.2g/l residual sugar, it reveals youthfully primary red fruit. Spicy, touch rustic tannins with pronounced liquorice and clove and the region’s hallmark brisk acidity provide the structure to develop and improve in bottle.
