The 2008 Domus Pensi, a blend of 40% Garnacha Peluda, 15% Carinena, 30% Cabernet and the rest Merlot, was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. It has a dark, almost opaque color and a nose of spices, smoke, tar and black cherries with notes of dark chocolate showing good integration of the oak. The palate has fine-grained tannins, pleasant flavors of licorice, black fruit and chocolate with enough acidity and good length. A well-crafted red, and a pleasant surprise.
