Series C 2021 represents a vivid expression of our unique vilafonté site. It exhibits a dark red-black coloured centre and brightly ruby-rimmed edge. Opening unhurriedly it reveals a layered aromatic palette with notes of incense and violet blossom that segue to delicious black plum, fresh black currants and Boysenberries. Subtle hints of sandalwood, sappy juniper and blonde tobacco gradually emerge with further time in the glass. The palate is luscious, with silky tannins and linear progression that finish with great presence and length. Generous fruit expression adds dimension to this elegant and impeccably well-balanced wine. While the 2021 Series C is already complete in its youth, this blend will reward those who exercise patience, as it continues to evolve and develop complexity. Enjoy now or cellar for two decades or more.

91 | Bright colour; deep and aromatic bouquet of delicate freshness and charm. Nori and dried herb notes. Medium-full body, very firm tannins and a lasting after-grip.

94 | Restrained but precise fresh currant and plum aromas supported by some smart new oak. Firm tannins on the palate but plenty of fruit in support. A crisp, savoury finish.

90 | Lifted bouquet of ripe red and blackberry, eucalypt. Big, full-bodied and plush, cedary oak.

95 | Black Forest cake, figgy, rich and fragrant nose. Rich and concentrated style with harmony and balance. Sweet core of fruit and sweet oak carry the day. Appealing style with freshness.
