Deep, rich, bright red/purple colour, with a meaty reductive overtone on the first nose, while the palate is full-bodied and soft, fleshy and rich, with good balance and harmony. Super-ripe black fruits later. There is very appealing weight, density, fruit sweetness and fleshy extract. A smart wine indeed, and a solid future is assured. 02 FEB 2021 Drink 2021–2033

Hand-harvested, crushed, and traditionally vinified in small open-top fermenters. 7 months in 500 litre mature French oak puncheons with 20% in new oak.
Abundant Tempranillo black fruits, cherry, fruit bread & red licorice, overlaid with Touriga Nacional’s pungent fruit, jasmine-scented floral and nutmeg/cinnamon spices. The intense and tightly intertwined flavours of this rich and flavoursome wine are primarily of fresh blackberries and panforte, with a complex spice profile including clove, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Layered, tightly wound and ready to explode, this medium bodied wine is Pannell’s most tannic TT yet. The palate is long and consistent with integrated and granular tannins that provide for a balanced finish, and a synergy with food. In for a long haul. Give it 15 to 20 years.
