From a magnum bottle. Medium cherry color. Nose: medium to high intensity, red fruit, toast, balsamic. Palate: soft, fruity, yet with a certain astringency at the top. Medium final. A nice surprise, still with some (few) years left.

Although the nose displays pleasant scents of blackberries and sweet leather, the palate is slightly bitter with cranberry type flavours on a tart and short finish.

Although produced by Agrícola Falset-Marça, this bottle was Marks and Spencers branded. I purchased it due to a recommendation in Decanter magazine (Top 50 wines under £10) and drank with a roast dinner this Sunday. Made from 85% Garnacha and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon this wine is deep purple in colour. Black cherry penetrates on the nose with a slight violet edge. The palate shows jammy red fruits, blackberry, spice, mineral notes and a hint of vanilla. Well-balanced with good tannic structure.

Highly drinkable even without food. Rich dark and smooth.

Aromatic, maturing currant, lather and toast nose. Ripe, bright and flavourful; good structure; long, complex, earthy finish.
4/5
