Deep ruby red colour. A complex, dense blackberry fruit and beguiling exotic spices on the nose with some liquorice and black olive tapenade notes and a touch of balsamic soaked rosemary and eucalyptus leaves. The nose seamlessly carries through to the palate with all the flavours vying for attention with an intense, firm palate with a long smooth texture and a brilliant saline quality to the fine finish.

Syrah and Touriga Nacional were once again the stars of the vintage. I selected the best of 2 or 3 barrels of each and played around with various blends of the two. In the end I settled on a high percentage of Syrah and when I taste the wine now I still can't believe the percentage of Touriga Nacional is only 15%. I looked at what else we could add to improve the wine and when the 2014 vintage was ready to be assess, again I looked at what options we had to improve along the lines of the multi vintage 1st Edition, but what we has was just right
