Note di degustazione
100% Garnacha. Robert Parker was introduced to it in Las Vegas (he admits he gambles) at the Lotus of Siam restaurant. It's a tiny property co-owned by Mr and Mrs Christopher Canaan, the Zamoras and the Barbiers . Bright crimson, pale rim. Herby, soft and gentle, sweet and transparent. Long. Haunting. (JR)

The 2006 Espectacle de Montsant delivers a perfume of super-fragrant cherries, spice box, olives, and incense. On the palate it is full-bodied, opulent, layered, and succulent. Dense, thick, and very long in the finish, it is irresistible now but will age effortlessly for another 4-6 years. It will drink optimally from 2014 to 2026. Espectacle’s fruit is sourced from a single vineyard of 100+-year-old Garnacha vines located at La Figuera on the northern edge of the Montsant DO. The vineyard is looked after by Rene Barbier’s Clos Mogador team and the wine is vinified in one 4000-liter oak vat at Celler Laurona. This results in the production of about 5000 bottles in a normal year. Importer: Christopher Cannan, Europvin; www.europvin.com
