Vines planted 1847, bunch and berry-sorted, 4 days cold soak, 12-day ferment, some additional time post-ferment, matured in French (90%) and American (10%) oak, (30% new). Deeply coloured, the mouthfeel is part velvet, part succulent, the softness of the tannins part of the same glorious jigsaw puzzle wine of a different kind. It's too much to ask of a cork I suppose, this one isn't great.
