On the nose, a slight sweetness opens up to aromas of vanilla and rancio, the nutty scent which only develops after extensive ageing in oak barrels.
The mouth, of outstanding length, is round and suave, with subtle hints of sweetness, mocha, underwood, and candied fruits.
The colour is bright with an intense mahogany-amber tint and coppery tinges.
This delightful vintage was bottled by hand in its precious decanter at the domain, prior to being numbered by the Cellar Master.
