A small selection of vines around a 1000+ year old olive tree in the middle of an estate single vineyard. Drank with the winemaker on property. Classically styled and should age very well as acidity was remarkable.

Very good. Still showing some oak. Almost a touch of eucalyptus. Will be better with some more time.
