What a treat to try this. It has been difficult finding anything out about the wine. Apparently it is from a small vineyard that is planted on its original root stocks and over 100 years old. They make a regular wine but this wine is limited to two barrels and is quite expensive. Luckily, a good wine buddy opened this for one of our tasting groups. It is very rare indeed. Purple in color. The nose has plums, smoke and dark cherries. Very tight on the nose but with air it opened. On the palate, it is incredibly concentrated. Dark cherries with a great texture. Ripe but tight. Very different than most 2009's I have had; this needs more time (luckily my friend has more). An amazing finish. Thank you.
