A millennium wine that’s now in fine form. It’s a typical Garnacha-Carinena blend that runs heavy on Garnacha. The bouquet is strong and evolved, with leather and mineral along with aromas of crushed flower petals, asphalt and earth. Excellent fruit quality in the mouth; vivid with raspberry and black pepper. 800 cases made. Imported by multiple importers. ——M.S.(10/1/2005)—— 90
