Big smiles for such a lovely wine - WNH virtual wine tasting - Spanish night - 70% Carinena grapes dominated with 30% Syrah - highly recommend - almost reminds me of fruit forward CDP - RP scores at 95 - has 10-15 years left

Made from a blend of centenary Carignan vines and 80yrs old Grenache vines. Very well balanced and elegant. Around ā‚¬80 at the wine shop. Excellent.

Bodega Mas Alta 2007. A powerful blend of mazuelo, garnacha e cabernet. Full bodied, plums, dark fruits, persistent. French taste in a Spanish body.
