Powerful, concentrated reds with signature notes of candied black fruits (blackberry, black cherry), graphite, schist, garrigue, cocoa and liquorice, firm tannins and a mineral palate strung by the "llicorella" (black schist and quartz forcing roots down to 20 m). Old vines of Garnacha (roundness) and Cariñena (Samsó, structure). Exceptional ageing.
