THE OLD VINE SERIES TREINSPOOR IS 100% TINTA BAROCCA PLANTED IN 1974, A GRAPE THAT EBEN SADIE RATES VERY HIGHLY. THERE IS SOMETHING PLACID ABOUT THE NOSE, WHICH IS REFINED AND RECLINING IN A COMFY CHAIR AT THE MOMENT. THE FRUIT IS SLIGHTLY DARKER THAN THE 2014 POFADDER, WITH A HINT OF VANILLA AND COLA TINCTURING THE DARK BERRY FRUIT. THE PALATE IS MEDIUM-BODIED WITH CRISP, GRAINY TANNIN AND SUPREMELY WELL-JUDGED ACIDITY. IT BECOMES MORE STRUCTURED AND MASCULINE TOWARDS THE FINISH, WHICH OFFERS GREAT DETAILS, PRECISION AND SUPERB MINERALITÉ. EBEN COMPARED IT TO A CROSS BETWEEN NEBBIOLO AND A SYRAH, AND I CAN SEE WHERE HE IS COMING FROM. ONE OF THOSE WINES THAT SHIFTS YOUR PRECONCEPTION ABOUT A GRAPE VARIETY.
