The 2004
Mas d’En Compte Tinto is 50% Garnacha, 40% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 14 months in new French and American oak. Purple/black, the nose offers up aromas of scorched earth, espresso, kirsch, and wild blackberries. Full-bodied, the wine has a high-toned, racy style with intense, spicy flavors and terrific balance. Drink this stylish effort over the next 8-10 years.
