The definition, precision and persistence of fruit and structure here take RWT to a new level. It’s pitch black, a very dark RWT with a narrow, vibrant purple rim. The bouquet is tightly wound, like a coiled spring of black fruits ready to erupt. The palate contrasts outstanding depth of crunchy blackberry and black plum fruit with a tannin profile of immense proportions, a wall of beautifully fine structure with a commanding confidence that will sustain this as one of RWTs longer-lived expressions.

Deep crimson. Elemental and upfront with lovely pure blackberry aromas, with cranberry, rhubarb, elderberry and dark chocolate notes. A velvety smooth palate with delicious blackberry, cranberry, praline flavours, plentiful chalky tannins and underlying savoury oak. Sensational volume, richness and balance.
