Rating: Robert Parker 94/100, Guia Peñin 91 points
The quintessence of the Montsant appellation can be found in L'Esparver 2005, made from 90-year-old vines that perfectly express the richness of this terroir. This great, long-keeping wine was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels and is produced in just 3,000 bottles!

beautiful deep red colour with violet highlights

very aromatic, with notes of wild berries (cranberry, blackberry, blackcurrant) and floral notes. Airing brings out spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla...

Full-bodied and unctuous, well-balanced with fine tannins. A long finish reminiscent of wild berries and noble wood.
