Vilafonté Seriously Old Dirt displays a beautiful, deep ruby colour. Rich, expressive aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and black plum leap from the glass. Notes of baking spice, vanilla pod, and subtle liquorice add luxurious complexity. The entry is smooth, leading to a plush, silky texture on the palate. Concentrated black fruit and a touch of dark chocolate provide a generous mid-palate weight. Satin-like tannins and fresh acidity ensure a vibrant, long finish. It is approachable now but will reward cellaring. This elegant red blend is perfect with grilled ribeye steak, venison, or slow-roast lamb shoulder.
