The 2011 Gran Clot dels Oms is a barrel-fermented Xarello from old vines aged in 400-liter oak barrels for five months in contact with the lees. The nose blends notes from the wood, smoke, balsam and vanilla with ripe yellow and white fruit, spicy fennel aromas and a light to medium-bodied palate still marked by the aging in wood, with good persistence and a slightly drying finish. It should get polished with some time in the bottle. Drink now-2016. Importer: Cal, Vin & Hocks; tel. (609) 868-2821

I preferred it to the 2010 Gran Clot Dels Oms, which is raised in new French oak. This wine has a more intense, but less elegant bouquet of strong grapefruit and pineapple aromas. The palate is full and slightly honeyed in the mouth, yet it is missing the tension of the un-oaked version. Drink now-2014. Importer: Fruits of the Vines Inc., NY; no telephone number available.
