  A Garnatxa- Cabernet Sauvignon-Ull de Llebre-Syrah-Merlot-blend (equal parts, 20 percent each) from the Terra Alta region (province of Tarragona), that spent 6 months in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels. Dark purple-red colored wine with delicious aromas of ripe berry fruit, cassis, plum and a hint of leather. Harmonious, well-balanced palate, plenty of pure red fruit elements, a nice acidity and beautifully integrated tannins. Satisfying finish with an agreeable balsamic touch. Already very approachable and enjoyable.
  
  Een Garnatxa- Cabernet Sauvignon-Ull de Llebre-Syrah-Merlot-blend (20 percent van elke soort) uit Terra Alta (provincie Tarragona), die zes maanden in Franse, Amerikaanse en Hongaarse eik verbleef. Donkere purperrode kleur en heerlijke aroma’s van rijp bessenfruit, cassis, pruimen en een vleugje leder. Harmonieuze, goed uitgebalanceerde smaak, vol rood fruit, met een degelijke aciditeit en mooi versmolten tannines. Fraaie afdronk met een aangename balsamische toets. Al zeer toegankelijk en genietbaar.

  Straight from the bottle. Deep ruby color. On the nose, it's all dark berries with some spices. In the mouth, it is elegant yet powerful, not quite a fruit bomb but nice black currant and cherries but a bit too much alcohol. Might improve with time although I suspect this is as good as it gets. Finish is average. Decent but nothing special.
