91 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

(85% garnacha tintorera and 15% monastrell, from vines that are reportedly planted at between 700 and 1000 meters altitude; fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak for 12 months; 15% alcohol):  Inky purple.  Deeply perfumed nose features heady scents of dark berry preserves, violet and licorice.  Sweet and perfumed in the mouth, with a spicy kick  to the intense blackberry and floral pastille flavors.  Clings and clings, with an exotic floral nuance carrying through the finish.
