I sure wish I had bought more of this a couple of years back. It was $70 a bottle or so, but it is a dynamite wine. Not sure why I opened this tonight to be honest, just seemed like a good idea after a difficult day. It goes down beautifully. Smooth, long finish, lovely aroma and fully blended flavors of black cherry, burnt tobacco (the good kind of taste) and sweet tannins. A great wine from an up and coming area of Spain. Truth be told a now well discovered part of Spain but in 2003, not so much. Just outside of Barcelona. If you can get this wine, any year in the last five years, even if it seems steep in price, you will not regret it. I still have a couple of the 2001 and I will be delighted to open the next one in an other two years.
It is a blend, half Carignan, then Merlot and Cabernet. Great tasting wine.
Back in awhile.
