(2010) Fermented in the lagar with foot-treading. Then to tanks with lees ageing, no malolactic, and allowed to ferment out very slowly, perhaps through into the new year. Served cold, this deep crimson/black wine has beautiful aromatics with black cherries, red liquorice and a certain caraway seed spice. Lovely, tight, beautifully focused flavours. The tight black fruit has beautiful gloss and refinement on the palate too, with fantastic, savoury depth, a little meatiness and that firm, granite-like backbone of structure, but the finish very soft, a certain creaminess through the lees ageing and that beautiful kirsch-like freshness.
