Production Details Destemmed whole berries were cold soaked for 3 days under inert gas, fermented in open fermenters at a reported 22–28°C, plunged three times daily and given a gentle pumpover during peak fermentation. The wine remained on skins for 8 days, was pressed directly into new and one-year-old French oak hogsheads, and matured for 18 months before the best barrels from each batch were selected for the final blend. The page also reports “TA 6.13,” but provides neither a unit nor the analytical basis, so it cannot safely populate total_acidity_gl.
Tasting Notes Rich and opulent; dark plum, mulberry, cedar and spice aromas; full-bodied palate with blackberry, cassis and liquorice, fine-grained tannins and a long finish
