The 2009 Clos d’Englora AV14 is a blend of 64% Garnacha Tinta, 26% Carinena and 10% Garnacha Peluda, a specific strain of Garnacha in which the leaf underside is hairy or velvety, aged for 18 months in oak barrels, which resulted in a pleasant, straightforward spicy nose with a mixture of aromas of blackberries and raspberries and a medium-bodied palate with spicy, oaky overtones and pungent, lively acidity.
