2010 Bancal

The 2010 Blancal del Bosc is a blend of 60% Garnacha, 20% Syrah and 20% Cabernet from 40-year-old vines planted on red clay and limestone and aged for six months in three-year-old French oak. It has a well-defined nose with notes of mulberry, dark cherry, a touch of lavender and slate. The palate is medium-bodied, with ripe, mineral-rich tannins on the entry. This is beautifully defined and focused, with a reserved finish that offers tantalizing glimpses of limestone and flint. It is very refined and composed. Drink 2013-2020.
