The 2011 Millennium Tinto is a blend of 60% Garnacha, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah and 5% Merlot aged for 12 months in new French oak. The nose has aromas of peat, smoke, licorice, Chinese ink and wet paint with hints of leather over a core of ripe black fruit. The palate comes across as slightly pinched, with high acidity and a bit hollow in the middle. Drink now.
