Ox Hardy, 1891 Ancestor Vines other_regions sherry-like styleWarm spiced bread, blackcurrants, tarry, savory notes, black cherries and redder toned plums and berries abound. This is a well of rich fruit. The palate has a soulful feel, winding out layers and layers of smooth, fine and dense tannin in effortless style. Builds and builds with a smooth ascent into a very long, dark plum flavored finish. From a small plot of vines planted in 1891, this is a piece of vinous treasure. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
