Capçanes

Medium ruby with flucks of violet; exotic aromas of liquor liked cherry, spicy cake; ripe and nicely concentrated; very Garnacha in caracter; a lot fruit; medium finish with ripe, sweet tannins and nicely fresh.

Wine Advocate

The purple-colored 2007 Mas Donis Barrica is a blend of 85% Garnacha (from vineyards over 80 years of age) and 15% Syrah. Aged for eight months in French and American oak, it was bottled without fining and filtration. It offers up an alluring bouquet of smoke, pencil lead, earth notes, clove, cinnamon, and black cherry. This leads to a wine with remarkable depth and concentration for its humble price, savory flavors, and a fruit-filled finish. Although it is likely to evolve for 1-2 years, there is no reason to delay gratification.

Score: 90. —Jay Miller, February 2009.
