Written Notes

Taut, fresh black cherry and plum fruit nose with some spiciness. Quite backward. The palate has savoury, spicy undercurrents to the blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Taut structure and some fresher mineral notes. – Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com 93p

The 2007 was a volatile, with hail, cold and rain. The wines therefore have lower alcohol levels and softer tannins. In several plots, especially within Altamira, we had a late ripening.

Deep intense red, with light purplish hues. This wine stands out for its fresh intense profile, with rosemary, rhubarb, mint and pink grapefruit notes followed by berry aromas and finishing with chocolate, tobacco and dried fruit notes, which add complexity. Great volume and structure, this wine is fruity with silky and delicate tannins and reveals long finish with excellent aromatic persistence. Intense, complex, fresh and elegant.
