94 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

(60% garnacha and 40% carinena, from vines that reportedly range from 80 to 100 years of age; raised for 18 months in French oak, one-third of it new):  Saturated ruby.  Heady scents of black raspberry, cherry-cola, star anise and rose oil.  Deeply pitched, intense red and dark berry and cherry flavors are joined by sexy floral pastille and spicecake nuances that build with aeration.  Supple tannins add shape to the very long, spicy finish, which leaves notes of dark berries, minerals and cola behind.
