Hewn of fruit from mid 1800's to early 1900's vines, this is a legacy of their provisions, served up beautifully by Gibson's sensitive approach to oak and their diplomatic extraction regime. This is rich, sure, but plush and eminently drinkable, while also boasting a prodigious capacity for age. Licorice, coffee grind, bitter chocolate and a molten lift of kirsch and violet perfumes are caressed by a spray of pepper grind. Vinous. Forceful. Fresh.
