Note di degustazione
The top cuvée is the 2015 1194, a blend of 65% Garnacha, 22% Carinyena and the rest Syrah brought up, I expect, in plenty of new oak. It’s deep purple, slightly translucent color is followed by a rich, blockbuster style bouquet that include loads of cassis and plum liqueur-like fruits, licorice, dried, chalky earth, and hints of licorice. Possessing beautiful purity, full-bodied richness, and ample yet sweet tannin, it’s a rich, pedal-to-the-metal beauty that stays balanced, pure, even elegant. It’s going to drink nicely for 10-15 years.

If you like your reds bold and sweet, this could be for you. With its blackberry-jam character, this full-bodied red is slightly cooked and doesn’t have the kind of tannin structure that can help to mitigate that. Drink now.
33% Garnatxa (Grenache), 25% Syrah, 25% Carinyena (Carignan) and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bunches were hand sorted in the vineyard and in the winery. Destemmed and crushed directly into small stainless-steel open tanks and big barrels for fermentation. Cold storage for two days. Punching down by hand once or twice per day. After a 10–21 day maceration, free-run wine was transferred to barrels. 90% aged in new French oak for 15 months. Neither fined nor filtered. Production of 12,000 bottles. Tasted blind. The wine has an over-sized charge of dark fruit. It is muscular and rich, with a superbly deep nose. It is an opulent wine, with intense but integrated oak. Energetic, deep and a blockbuster. Very savoury, a bit warm but exceptional on the fruit side. A monstrously delicious wine! I am impressed! (FC)
