93 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

(60% garnacha, 20% carinena and 20% syrah, aged for 16 months in French oak barriques):  Saturated ruby.  Deeper and more brooding than the Artigas, offering potent dark berry and cherry aromas and flavors along with notes of licorice and violet pastille.  Weighty and chewy on a superb finish that clings with firm tannic grip.  Michel Tardieu and Philippe Cambie of France are consulting winemakers for this project.
