"60% garnacha, 35% carinena and 5% cabernet sauvignon) Bright red. Intense red berry aromas are complemented by minerals, baking spices and fresh rose. Supple raspberry and cherry flavors are firmed by dusty tannins and given grip by tangy minerals. Sappy and sweet on the persistent finish, which leaves subtle oak spices behind. This is drinking very nicely right now. Michel Tardieu, of Rhone Valley renown, is behind this project; this is the inaugural vintage." 91 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 08 |
