Vilafonte Series C 2023

A wine of regal structure and quiet authority. Deep red, verging on black at the centre, with a dense core fading to a narrow rim. Cool, sensuous aromatics lead with focused black fruits; blackberry, boysenberry, and sour black cherry lifted by violet. Juniper lends resinous intrigue, while spice notes of anise, clove, and nutmeg integrate with cedar and teak. The palate opens with precision, revealing a mouthwatering core that broadens with intensity. Fresh yet ripe black fruit flavours are supported by fine, velvet-textured tannins. Medium-bodied yet intense, the wine carries its fruit confidently through to a long, focused finish with structural finesse. Poised yet compelling, the 2023 Series C offers immediate allure while holding the promise of decades of graceful evolution.
