What can be done with sustainable old vine vineyards and a pearler of a year? Well if this wine is anything to go by pure brilliance is the result. The mataro takes center stage on the flavour wave but there is a few notes of dark shiraziness plus some grenachey notes as well. The wine is beautifully balanced even at this early stage of its development. You could drink it now but it will look so much better with 8 years under its belt. The structure of the wine stands out this year more than most as the tannins are forceful like you would expect from a mataro but they are a little more polished than usual. Try thinking about Angelia Jolie punching you in the face and then giving you a kiss and you get the feeling of the tannic force of the wine. I looked at this wine over 7 days and while it was great fun from the first sip, the wine looked the best after day 5.
