Dense color with purple disk. The noise is very racy, sophisticated, and characteristic of very old vineyard's wine. Mineral notes, with subtle aromas of liquorice, spices and fresh herbs of Priorat. Powerful tannins, filling up the smooth with freshness and noteworthy long on the palate. Very expressive wine, among the bests of Spain's terroir. Drink it through 20 years. - Michael Tardieu
The flagship cuvee, the inky purple-colored 2006 La Creu Alta, a blend of 60% Carinena and 40% Garnacha from vines over 100 years of age. Dense and port-like (with 16.4% alcohol), it has plenty of power but comes off as compact and one-dimensional. 89 Points, Jay Miller for Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate |
