The 2011 Cartoixa is a blend of Garnacha with 25% Cari?ena and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that feels very oaky (the wine matured for two years in a combination of different sized oak barrels, 1,400-, 500- and 225-liter) with plenty of vanilla and cinnamon aromas, smoky with ripe plums. Fortunately, the palate is a little fresher and does not show the heat of the vintage, but still shows too much dry tannin. Give it some time and enjoy with powerful food. 3,000 bottles.
