This blend is 55% old-vines Garnacha, 30% ancient Carignan, and the rest Cabernet. It’s sweet and rich, with aromas of red fruit and a hint of coconut. The palate is classic old-vines stuff: cassis, red plum, beet and plenty of persistence. Yet despite it’s old-vines status, it still tastes young and snappy.——M.S.(3/1/2004)—— 89
