90 Estupendo vino siempre. Bastante cubierto. Nariz balsámica, eucalipto, tinta china, carne cruda. Intensidad media. En boca es muy fresco, con una acidez importante que limpia la boca, y bastante estructura. Sabroso. Final un punto secante, pero muy correcto. Siempre es un vino interesante, que se deja beber muy bien, y que no cansa, que es una gran virtud.

90 Está ya domado, en un momento excelente. Notas iniciales animales, pero también mucha fruta. En boca es estupendo, tanino dulce y fundido, buena acidez y mucha fruta ácida, fresitas, frambuesas. Un muy buen vino en su punto.

Medium weight, fresh, youthful, slightly spicy fruit, and attractive with food. A little residual tannin still. Will probably improve over 2 to 3 years or so.

Rubied; plenty of dark fruits along with a suppressed earthy note on a pushy nose, iron filings; chewy, dusty palate, med/full, a little heft yet not out of kilter; tannins yet to fully resolve & a leather + earthiness to a finish of some substance. Drink now & next 3 years.

A youthful colour, crimson/purple; the palate shows residual carbon dioxide, which is somewhat off-putting; the fruit is young and fresh and there is a little tannin still. Needs aeration to remove the carbon dioxide, and would benefit from more time in bottle.

A good wine after one hour of breathing. Soft texture and something a bit flat to the mouthfeel as often is the case with Carignan-blends. Aromatically there is a touch of iron which complements the dark cherry fruit. Nicely balanced and a cool expression of hot Roussillon. Can be drunk now but should have some upside.

Baked fruit on nose; briary edge to smooth palate. This bottle holding up well.

Blood red; rich fruit cake, red berried; smooth, supple, fruit cake on palate too, soft tannins appear later; at edge of downslope of plateau.

Attractive, with lively fruit, raspberry and red currant, and with a slight spritz; light to medium weight on the palate with reasonable length.

Lip-smackingly delicious. Bright with sour cherries and strawberries, acidity to match. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
