The 2006 Plus Ultra is a blend of 70% Petit Verdot and 30% Bobal aged for 4 months in new French and American oak before racking into seasoned oak for another 8 months. A saturated purple color, it emits an aromatic array of cedar, tar, espresso, blackberry, and black plum. This is followed by a powerful, concentrated, intense wine with several years of aging potential. For those seeking subtlety, look elsewhere. For those seeking unabashed power, look no further. It is an outstanding value.
Casa Gualda’s current collection is uniformly excellent.
