Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
Castell de Falset is one of the flagship vintages of this excellent cooperative, which produces some fine wines in the Montsant appellation. An intense and charming 2005, elegant, tenderly fruity and complex, which, like the vintages that preceded it, will delight many a connoisseur's palate!
