Mature now, with musky plum jam and leather aromas and a prickly balsamic freshness. Long, smooth-textured and rounded palate, the acidity is quite forthright (but is natural, not added). Big and bold, but with a great sense of focus, the juicy, gently chewy tannins have now melted into the wine. Great complexity; wild yet refined. Various soils: granite, slate, clay, gravel. Three weeks fermentation and three weeks maceration in 2,000L open-top wooden fermenters. Aged for 18 months on lees then a further six months on fine lees.
