The vineyard was planted in '66 to be released in '20 to celebrate Best's then-100-year history and custodianship of the property and vineyard. Fermented with 25% whole bunches, matured in French oak (20% new). The colour is brilliant crimson, deep but bright. Yes, there's fantastic fruit that's been handled with kid gloves, and yes, it's got '17 written all over it with its dazzling red fruits and (almost unseen) acidity to protect its freshness.
