A monopole with a large percentage of the vines that were planted in 1917.
Smoky notes of reduction and phenolic elements (olive oil-like characters) precede impressively voluminous and rich medium-bodied flavours that retain a lovely sense of refinement on the textured, stony and beautifully long finish. I very much like the depth and this is a wine of punch and finesse. Drink: 2023+, Tasted: Oct 15, 2018 - Outstanding
