I was expecting a little more freshness from the 2010 Clos d'Englora Av 14, a blend of Garnacha Tinta, Garnacha Peluda and Cari?ena aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, new and used, which seems bit too long as the process leaves a very strong imprint in the wine. It smells of chocolate, spices and smoke more than fruit, and the palate has plenty of dusty, grainy tannins and ends with balsamic flavors akin go incense which is all talking about the élevage. 19,122 bottles produced.

This lively red offers an engaging mix of cherry, red plum, mountain herb, tobacco and smoky flavors, with light tannins and juicy acidity. Harmonious, presenting a spicy, floral finish that brings you back for another sip. Drink now through 2020. 2,023 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Montsant Select to Add
