This wine is produced from Mourvedre vines planted in 1853, said to be the oldest Mourvedre vines in the world. It provides intense black cherry, black plum and damp loam aromas with nuances of tar, licorice, chocolate, Chinese dried plums and hung meat. Full bodied with a medium to firm level of finely grained tannins, it is richly fruited with a nice savory edge and a very long finish.
