Notes :Gold medal at the Syrah du Monde 2008 competition, Guia Peñin: 91/100
The only Spanish wine to win gold at the latest"Syrah du Monde 2008" competition, held at the prestigious Château d'Ampuis last May, this cuvée, designed for ageing, has been carefully crafted with very low yields to guarantee the best expression of its grape variety. A 2004 with superb potential that will evolve over the next two to three years.
