"(50% garnacha, 40% carinena and 10% cabernet sauvignon) Bright ruby. Vibrant raspberry and cherry aromas are energized by blood orange and baking spices. Fresh red fruit flavors are complicated by an exotic lavender pastille quality and given lift by juicy acidity. An elegant, precise wine that finishes with excellent tangy cut and persistence. Nothing overdone here." 91 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 08
"The purple-colored 2006 Mas d’En Compte Tinto, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 40% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, was aged for 14 months in new French and American oak. It reveals a bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, lavender, spice box, and black cherry. Firm and structured on the palate, it is very tasty in a straightforward manner. It can be enjoyed over the next eight years." 90 points - Jay Miller for Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 183
