It is blended from parcels aged between 17 and 39 years, with an average age of 30 years at bottling. Shiraz, Touriga Nacional and Grenache form the core of the blend, supported by smaller amounts of other red varieties. Only approximately 200 litres are bottled annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cq\u003eExtremely intense and complex with the classic oak aged characters very apparent. The nose wine is extremely intense and has raisined fruit, toffee, malt and hints of maple syrup. The palate explodes with flavours of Christmas cake, malt, toffee with hints of dark chocolate. The palate is deliciously luscious … wonderfully elegant and refined.\u003c\/q\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlended and matured for immediate enjoyment, this rare Tawny may be savoured on its own or served with premium cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points – Shanteh Wale, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished 16 August 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cq\u003eThe freshness of this wine is something to behold.
