91 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

(47% garnatxa, 28% carinena, 23% cabernet sauvignon and 2% syrah, aged for 12 months in small French oak barrels):  Glass-staining ruby.  Pungent, complex aromas of black raspberry, cassis, cola and licorice pastille.  Juicy and vibrant, with a firm acid spine and a sexy violet note lifting the intense dark berry and bitter cherry flavors.  Firmly built but in no way hard, finishing with strong thrust.
