100% Grenache “Old Vines“ (85-105 years old)
Bright and vibrant, medium red colored; charming, fresh and seductive aromas of ripe cherries and red berries along with the floral nuances of roses and wild herbs. Complex but fine and sophisticated, perfumed. In the mouth full-bodied, complex, almost eccentric, and has a seductive spirit. It is subtle, aristocratic, introverted, and unique, much like great Burgundies and Northern Rhone Hermitage! The oak aging perfectly provides the additional aromatic layers of delicately roasted coffee and a toasted/smoky note. The mouth texture is intense and viscous due to its high natural glycerin level, however it‘s still nicely fresh and vibrant with lively acidity, a delicate sweetness, and great mouth feel. Aftertaste shows a substantial, but never aggressive crispy tannin structure which will allow this wine to age perfectly over the next 15 years. Very good length, an explosive aftertaste and fine red fruit which come through fully and elegantly!

Flor de Flor vinyes velles garnatxa 07: 94 punts.
Un nou kosher que presenta Capçanes, elaborat a partir de vinyes velles de garnatxa de 100 anys. Hi ha molt poques garnatxes kosher al mercat i aquesta és una veritable troballa. Segons la meva opinió, és encertat jutjar aquesta ampolla per la seva etiqueta; tant l’ampolla com el seu contingut són increïblement bonics. De color grana amb tocs violacis, a la copa és un vi gairebé surrealista. Nas i boca ens ofereixen sensacions similars, amb un festival de fruites del bosc –nabius, maduixes, gerds i móres- seguit per tocs de pruna i pinzellades de cacau. De cos mig/alt amb tanins ferms però suaus que deixen una sensació setinada en boca. El final és llarg i ple d’espècies. Cal seguir el seu desenvolupament durant els propers anys. Salut!
