Seppeltsfield is the only winery in the world to release a 100 year old, single vintage wine each year. There is no other wine in the world with as much explosive power as this; 100ml is the equivalent of 1500ml of conventional wine, or 500ml of Rare Rutherglen Tokay or Muscat. The first micro-sip sends all the senses of taste into a frenzy, with burnt toffee, treacle and molasses magically balanced and freshened by rancio and, even more, acidity. The aroma of the wine will stay in the empty glass for an hour or more, as will its viscosity stain the glass dark mahogany. JH

I describe this wine (not this vintage) at length in the winery summary, but I have to tell you that the sheer intensity of the 1920 is breathtaking - it has taken my breath away. Repetitious, but there it is. JH

cocoa chocolate, spreads slowly across the palate--a superior melt ; persistent roasted coffee and cardamom flavours with dried fig and vinocotto acidity ensuring the finish is refreshing and smooth. A wine of almost indescribable concentration and complexity. Has often be referred to as 'the essence of wine'.
