A dark, dense wine that comes from a parcel of old vines. It's a solid, supremely tannic wine at this young stage, but that black fruitiness will push through over the next few years. Great swathes of juicy acidity, tannins and fruit, all impressive potential. Drink from 2018.

Made using fruit sourced from a parcel of vines more than 60 years old, this is a dense, dark wine, with herb, dark fig and plum notes. Solid and concentrated, it has a firm texture, and the dusty tannins match well with the ripe fruit. Age for 7–8 years.
