Trutina |
Following up the highly impressive 2012 Trutina, this Red Blend starts with aromatics of cassis, black plum, red cherry and hints of baking spices. There are medium to full bodied flavors of red cherry, red raspberry, vanilla and black olive. There is a lovely minerality and mouthfeel as this wine glides on the mid-palate. With nice structure and richness, I can see this cellaring beautifully into the next decade. (Best 2016-2028) |

Mas d'en Gil |
Clos Fonta |
Pure but restrained violet, plum and berry aromas are on the money. This feels racy but also saturated, with kick as well as commendable overall balance. Flavors of plum, ripe tomato, schist and spice finish smooth, peppery, herbal and slightly warm, with a note of coffee. Drink through 2022. Regal Wine Imports Inc. Editors’ Choice. —M.S. |

Le Verre Pinot Noir |
Fascinating aromas of ripe strawberries, lemon meringue and crushed stones. Full body, chewy tannins and a fruity finish. Needs time to soften and come together. A beauty. Better in 2019 |
