From a single parcel of old bush-vine grenache on red-slate soil, this has aromas of dried red flowers and raspberries with leaves and gentle pastry notes. The palate has a very plush and ripe core of raspberry flavors with some red plums and redcurrants The tannins finish very ripe. Drink over the next five years.

Brilliant ruby-red. Pungent blackberry, cherry and vanilla aromas are accented by white pepper and smoky mineral flourishes. Juicy and expansive, offering concentrated dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and a sweetening touch of mocha. Chewy and gently spicy on the finish, which shows very good persistence and subtle tannic grip. This fruit-driven wine is awfully easy to drink now. Raised in used French oak barrels.

The top Garnacha is the 2017 La Ermita de Santa Bárbara, produced with grapes from a vineyard in the village of Tabuenca in Campo de Borja, low-yielding 50-year-old vines on red soils. The grapes fermented with some full clusters and indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in second and third use 225-liter French oak barrels for 14 months. It is ripe but feels fresher than the 2016 I also tasted next to it, like there's an evolution toward more freshness and balance, even if the alcohol is higher in this low-yielding and concentrated vintage. The nose combines ripe berries and spices, a touch of smoke and earth, and the palate is full-bodied, juicy, voluptuous and generous with a slightly warm finish. It needs powerful food. 2,024 bottles and 19 magnums were filled in October 2019.
