Best parcels from the Langton Vineyard identified pre-harvest and treated with tlc, matured in new and used French hogsheads for 18 months. Strong crimson-purple; a medium to full-bodied wine with considerable depth and texture to its black fruits, these with high points of cracked pepper and licorice; the tannins (part fruit, part oak) seal the deal, injecting some sweet/savoury (not sweet/sour) nuances on the back-palate.
