Tasting notes

Tight dark violet colour. Pretty nose. Lots of dark berries, anise, even minerality, oak, floral high notes. I switched glasses a few times and this really needed large wide glasses to show it's best. Powerful wine in the mouth. Loads of fruit and concentration. Dark fruity style, but great depth and fine notes. Anise, earth, very fine floral notes. Some young oak in the background, but greatly balanced. Medium acidity. Long and dry finish. The alcohol in complete balance. This is a great wine and hugely impressive for being the basic red wine from Vall Llach. It is a great drink now, but can probably take on quite some time. Impressive results wwith such young vines and a tremendous QPR-winner.
