| The 2004 Mas de Can Blau,
the first vintage of this cuvee, comes from the estate’s oldest
Carinena, Garnacha, and Syrah vines. It received malolactic
fermentation in barrel, was aged for 20 months in new French
oak, and bottled unfiltered. Dark ruby/purple-colored, it offers
a flamboyant nose of pain grille, scorched earth, tar, and
kirsch. Full-bodied with a supple texture, the wine has layers
of sweet fruit, nicely integrated oak, tannin, and acidity, in
its racy personality. Drink this outgoing wine over the next
8-10 years |
