1896 Single Harvest Limited Edition (500ml)

The magical quality of this wine is unique. Its depth and density are astonishing, even taking into account the wines concentration over a century and a quarter of ageing in wood. At first, a rich and seductive redolence of black coffee and liquorice takes centre stage but a host of other scents and nuances soon emerge from the wings, creating an intricate display of complex aroma.Notes of sawn cedarwood blend with hints of dried rose petal, fennel and eucalyptus. Black pepper and vanilla add a warm spicy dimension. On the palate the wine is dense, round and velvety with impressive volume and concentration, the sweetness balanced by a fresh acidity. Mellow flavours of coffee and butterscotch combine with vibrant notes of orange peel and citrus. The finish is endless, the dense mellow flavours remaining on the palate long after the wine has been tasted.
