The 2006 Vall-Llach is 65% Carinena, 20% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 14 months in 100% new French oak. Opaque purple in color, the nose offers up pain grille, liquid mineral, scorched earth, herbs, incense, and assorted black fruits. Layered, dense, and still a bit ungiving, this powerful, full-bodied wine has gobs of succulent fruit in reserve, plenty of ripe tannin, and a lengthy finish. Allow 6-8 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2030.
Rich and bold, this expressive red delivers black cherry, blackberry, espresso, mineral and mountain herb flavors that are intense and complex, yet focused and balanced. The firm tannins are well-integrated, while the acidity is bright and refreshing.
