Peraj Ha’abib 2017: GOLD – Fine dark hue, purple tinges. Classy, deep nose combining black fruits, new oak, liquorice and graphite. Well-crafted palate, ample and remarkably mellow on the attack and persisting in the same vein on the firmer mid-palate and finish. Great potential.
Mas Collet 2017: GOLD – Full, purple-tinged colour. Deep, warm nose redolent of black fruit and very ripe stone fruit. The palate goes for a virile, very extracted, over-ripe style, concluding on a more tannic note. It will benefit from cellaring.
Lasendal 2017: GOLD – Full ruby, little development. Fine nose introducing notes of black fruit, graphite and mild spice. Splendidly concentrated on the palate, tight-textured with lovely ripe tannin. A very demonstrative and persistent offering.
La Nit de les Garnatxes Slate 2017: GOLD – Dark ruby, immature appearance. Expansive nose of small red fruit, then after aeration shows real complexity, with fine mineral, spicy and slightly toasted notes. Full attack, delicately but generously structured and deliciously fresh. Compelling wine.
La Nit de les Garnatxes Clay 2017: GOLD – Full ruby, immature. Deep nose of red fruit, orange flesh and a whiff of grey pepper. Rich, ample – even opulent – palate, with ripe well-coated tannin. Good all-round structure, getting firmer on the finish. Positively virile for a Grenache.
La Nit de les Garnatxes Sand 2017: GOLD – Medium-full colour. Fine nose of fresh red fruit and stone fruit on a mineral and slightly saline base. Supple-textured on the palate and deliciously rich, brimming with luscious fruit, good refeshing cut and still that spicy and mineral dimension.
La Nit de les Garnatxes Limestone 2017: GOLD – Medium-deep ruby. Engaging nose intermixing red fruit and subtle vegetal and spicy touches over a floral backing. Not particularly full on the palate, but has deliciously tight, fine texture and well-judged freshness. Elegant style.
Mas Picosa (De flor en flor) 2018: GOLD – Full, violet-tinged ruby. Enticing, immature nose of red and black berry fruit with floral and vegetal touches. Rounded, fleshy entry, vibrantly fruity, then becomes a little firmer and more vegetal on the follow-through. Deliciously quaffable.
