A little gritty and tough on the nose, with hard strawberry and kirsch aromas. The palate is voluminous and foamy, with flavors of burnt blood orange and grilled pink grapefruit. Yes, there’s a hard, burnt element to the wine, but this being Pinot Noir from Penedes that’s to be expected.——M.S.(10/1/2010)—— 87

Red in color, with grassy aromas of clover and cherry. The palate runs soft and a little cloying, with sweet, flat, grassy flavors of plum and cherry. Candied and a bit dull on the finish.——M.S.(12/15/2011)—— 85
