Description
The 2020 Mudbrick Velvet appears inky black in the glass. It displays complex aromas of cassis, violets, liquorice, plums, coco, and spice. The palate is concentrated with dark fruits, plush round tannins and a long pure finish. This wine can be enjoyed upon release but will benefit from careful ageing in a cellar to 20 years+
