Some pretty old vines there! Not a lot of oak influence either - given that the barrels are a) 1000L and b) 60 years old.
Sounds like an interesting wine

Nah sorry, Sarah Ahmed beat you there. :stir: :wink:

But seriously, I would love to taste this wine, it sounds like a very interesting project. If I'm correct, this is more or less from the same area where Infantado is situated?

I've tasted this wine several times in barrels in June and September 2013, it is a great wine. Blind you'd definitively go for an elegant Cote Rotie with more fruit but retaining the white pepper character. Quality of the tannins and texture is impressive.
