Score 18/20 · Drink 2010-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2009

Cariñena, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon. Consultant oenologist Michel Tardieu, founded by five Belgians in 1999 including Michel and Christine Vanhoutte . Black purple. Sweet and very, very supple. You can almost sense a volcanic rumble in this wine! It came top of a Victor de la Serna tasting apparently. Attention grabbing! And very expressive. (JR)

In contrast, the flagship cuvee, the inky purple-colored 2006 La Creu Alta, a blend of 60% Carinena and 40% Garnacha from vines over 100 years of age, is not nearly as interesting. Dense and port-like (with 16.4% alcohol), it has plenty of power but comes off as compact and one-dimensional. Importer: Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
