Note di degustazione
The nose is attractive if a little restrained at this point, with aromas of red and black fruit with sweet spice, gravelly minerality and a hint of cola and wild herbs. With air the minerality becomes more pronounced, creating a cool, elegant impression, and the fruit more precise and focused – lovely, red crunchy fruit that smacks of Grenache when done just right. On the palate, a hint of warmth is tempered by smooth, silky tannins and fresh acidity. More black-fruited on the palate with mouth-coating concentration, yet still restrained in its power and showing excellent purity. This wine is marked by impeccable balance: old vine Carinena and Garnacha coming together in superb harmony.

The 2017 Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles is a blend of 55% old-vine Cariñena and 45% old-vine Garnacha matured in new French oak barrels for 16 months. It has ripe black fruit, Mediterranean aromatic herbs and generous spice and smoke with a note of graphite. All of these reds reach 15% alcohol and are powerful and full-bodied, built to last. The warmer vintages tend to have a softer texture and mellow acidity with round tannins and a long, lingering finish. This matured in brand new French oak barrels for 16 months, and it's oaky but not in excess. 4,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2019.
