60yo wines, hand-picked and sorted, crushed and destemmed, 14 days on skins, basket-pressed direct to new French hogsheads for 18 months maturation. Interesting use of a screwcap for this wine, and Diam for its siblings. The estate vineyard, the alcohol and the vinification are the same for all three, the major difference being the three vintages and length of time in new oak. This wine is full-bodied by normal standards, but has sufficiently good balance to justify the use of the word elegant.
