Breeding
Ageing in oxidative conditions (large wooden vats and barrels) for several decades before bottling
On the eye
Deep mahogany with amber and copper highlights, viscous and lustrous
On the nose
Intense rancio character with notes of pecan, dried figs, dates and prune. Subtle tobacco, roasted coffee, cocoa and a whisper of damp forest floor.
In the mouth
Unctuous and powerful attack coating the palate. Surprising residual acidity carries dried fruit and spice—cinnamon, liquorice—towards a monumental finish of bitter orange peel.
Matured through prolonged oxidative élevage in large wooden vessels, this wine from the steep schist slopes above the Mediterranean displays the magistral complexity that only decades of careful development can achieve. A study in terroir and time.
