(2012) Aged in older French oak barrels for eight months, this blend of 50% Carignena, 40% Garnacha, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah delivers burstingly fresh black fruit with a certain floral and jammy lift of pomegranate and black cherry. There's a sense of plush depth too, and a slick of vanilla beneath. That vanilla and sweet, sweet fruit silkiness coat the palate, with a big, creamy ripeness of cherry and plum, and just delicious fruit and balance. Firm tannins and a good acidity as well as a hit of spice add some chewy seriousness on the finish.
