The vineyards are 76.8 acres of 75- to 95-year-old Monastrell vines (also known as Mourvèdre) and 28.8 acres of 30-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon planted on smooth hills looking north. The Monastrell vines are planted in a foot deep layer of chalky stones over substrate a of sandy soil. Cabernet vines are planted in vineyards with chalky, stony soil over a layer of sandy soil with clay. Winemaker Notes: Deep ruby with a garnet rim. Aromas of succulent black fruit from fresh to preserved and suggestions of caramel and toffee, with hints of toast, cocoa, distinctive tobacco, and coffee. In the background, some earthy and mineral nuances. Fruit and freshness define the palate, complemented with exotic touches of spices, violets, some vegetal nuances, some toasted notes, and deep mineral undertones. Huge, powerful and savory, yet it shows a distinctive elegance. A linear, steely acidity, some ripe tannins and very long finish. |
