"Nervy peppery nose with ethereal red berries, peppercorns and spices. Medium body on the palate with wild berries and firm tannins, delivering a nimble yet composed mouthfeel. A nice touch of bitter spices at the end. 100% garnacha. Drink now."

"Varietal Garnacha from one of the most incredible slopes in Montsant, with vines well over 100 years old. Delicate in style, and so varietally Garnacha; bright raspberry and strawberry fruit, rose petals, sappy herbs and warm earth. Gorgeous floral characters and powedery tannins. A subtle Garnacha but one of the very best. 2024-2032"

"The 2021 Espectacle del Montsant has a bright ruby color and a very perfumed and elegant nose with no signs of excess ripeness, with 14.5% alcohol. As 2021 was a much cooler year, the wine is more elegant than ever (following the cooler years like 2014), textured and with very fine tannins. It has an intoxicating nose of red fruit and blood orange, violets and a spicy twist with pungent flavors and a finish that is dominated by violet pastille and is pungent, intense, clean and very long. It's multi-layered, precise, nuanced and ever-changing in the glass. It has to be one of the most elegant and finest vintages of Espectacle, with the natural freshness from the year. Bravo! There are some 7,500 bottles of this elixir."
