About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from vines cropped at extremely low yields.

Ageing

The wine rests for many years before release. The 2011 vintage requires further cellaring—potentially another decade—to reveal its layers of complexity.

Tasting profile

The wine combines concentration and complexity with a bold, distinctive character. The 2011 is monumental and extreme in style, with remarkable intensity, richness and extraordinary density.

Label / history

Annual production is limited to 9,000 bottles.
