| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Lovely, intense, complex, ripe, maturing, Damson plum, cassis and black cherry on the nose with some gently earthy, sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, dense, rich, ripe, maturing, Damson plum flavours with a lingering, still bright, slightly savoury, cedary, lifted, blueberry-cassis-tinged finish. This 17-year-old bend of 55% Garnacha, 30% Tempranillo,10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo was aged for 16 months in new French oak and is still capable of carrying on for several more years. It has 14% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L0732 on the capsule. NEW in Vintages. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2005 Arvum was also sourced from a single plot with vines ranging in age from 80-100 years. The blend is 55% Garnacha, 30% Tempranillo, with the balance Graciano and Mazuelo aged for 16 months in new French oak. Saturated purple in color, it displays a brooding, slightly roasted bouquet of incense, scorched earth, lavender, and black fruit compote. Layered and opulent on the palate, it is loaded with savory, spicy black fruit flavors, an expansive mouth-feel, and enough structure to evolve for 3-5 years. Drink this impressive offering from 2014 to 2025. Score - 93+ (Jay Miller, robertparker.com, April 26, 2010) |
