New vintage, 2006 rated: Robert Parker 91/100
Las Rocas Garnacha Vinas Viejas (Grenache Vieilles Vignes) shines with the panache and typicity of old Grenache vines, sometimes more than a hundred years old, which give it a complex, mineral bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit and spices. A wine that gains in structure and complexity thanks to 12 months' ageing in oak barrels. A 2007 vintage not to be missed!
