The 2010 FA 206 is a blend of 70% Garnacha, 20% Carinena, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Syrah, aged in second-fill Allier oak for six months. It has a backward, slightly surly bouquet of cranberry, blackberry and a touch of liquorices. The palate is full-bodied with thick, chewy tannins on the entry. It is a little “mealy” at the moment, but it has a lively, bright, peppery finish that leaves the mouth tingling with glee. Drink 2014-2020. Mas Igneus was founded in 1996, a joint venture between Josep Maria Albet, Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets and the Poboleda Cooperative (which left in 2004). The winery is located at their Costers de l’Ermita estate close to Gratallops, and there is a strong organic/biodynamic philosophy throughout all their wines. Mas Igneus’s wines are highly regarded; however, whether it was because of the vintages I tasted or because some had only recently been bottled, I found them falling slightly below my expectations. In particular, I felt that a propos some of the top wines, the oak was not quite in synch with the fruit. Importer: Opici Wines , www.opiciwines.com
