Produced from low-yielding, old vine Monastrell - plus additional Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. This is a superbly intense wine, very rich and smooth, and though it is very powerrful initially, there is a very long and complex finish. This wine is drinking very well now, but thanks to the superb concentration it will age confortably for a further 10 years. An opulent nose of ripe black fruits, spice and balsamic notes. The palate is complex and concentrated, rich and full with mocha, cherry, plum and chocolate characters, backed by rounded tannins and fresh acidity. Gil Family Estates
