this version of old-vines carignan-garnacha is heavily toasted to the point of smelling charred, with coffee and cured-beef notes. big and blocky on the palate, reflecting a warm year, this tastes toasty, with flavors of wild herbs, baking spices, char and black fruits in the background. licorice notes and a final blast of char control the finish. drink through 2021.
