2016 Capcanes Cabrida (Montsant)

Bright violet color. Displays intense, mineral-driven red/blue fruit, violet, allspice and anise scents, along with a sexy vanilla nuance and a hint of black cardamom. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering deeply concentrated raspberry, boysenberry, cola and spicecake flavors that show outstanding clarity and spicy back-end lift. A suave floral note emerges with aeration and carries through an impressively long, youthful, tannic finish that leaves candied red fruit, lavender and mocha notes behind. 92 points
