Eyes: Dense deep purple, with vibrant youthful hues.
Nose: Dark blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, with hints of chocolate and sweet spice.
Palate: Full bodied, yet elegant. The brilliant 2019 vintage has delivered a timeless and generous Old Bastard. The palate opens with an abundance of bright dark berries and tight chalky tannins with layers of mocha, coffee and chocolate. As always, the wine is completely in balance. The finish is long and firm. Although this wine is drinking well now, the tannins will continue to soften with age. The gift that keeps on giving.
