Deep purple color with macerated red plums, blackberry, violet, tobacco, cacao, vanilla and cedar aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and long with with lively acidity and well integrated velvety tannins with tangy ripe red plum, blackberry sauce, vanilla, cranberry flavors with a very appealing graphite minerality with a long spicy finish. 15% abv
Aged 18 months in French oak and 12 months in bottle. From 57-year-old vines at El Peral, 3,700 feet.

Aangenaam glas wijn, ook na twee dagen open nog goed op dronk. Genuttigd met bavette en chimichurri, de zoetheid van de wijn daar tegenover was een prima combinatie. Ben toch nog iets enthousiaster over jaargang 2017.

Deep purple color. So suave and inviting on the nose, with fig paste and plum sauce, doused in violets, clay and potting soil, some cocoa, anise and pencil shavings. Structured so well, grippy but refined tannins, balanced with crisp acidity. Tangy but deep plums, with figs and cranberry relish – interesting mix of fruit – backed up with complexities of violet and clove potpourri, tilled soil, graphite, minerals. This needs time to coax out the savory nuances packed in here, and this will age so nicely. Long, zippy, fresh, spicy finish. Aged 18 months in French oak and 12 months in bottle. From 57-year-old vines at El Peral, 3,700 feet.
