2010 Els Jelipins. Sumoll and garnatxa from the Penedès. If that wasn't surprising enough, this had real finesse and elegance. Volatile at first as it was gasping for air but that became more subdued. Then it moved into a minty zone with sun-dried tomatoes. Evolved on to stewed tomato water and spice. Then the minerality really started showing. Gravel, clay. Where would you place it if you'd been served this blind? Beats me. Reminds me of Matassa Romanissa Casot.

2010 Els Jelipins- stopped me in my tracks yet again. Over delivers even at the price point. Tar, roses, but so light-bodied and ethereal.
