The purple-colored 2006 Mas d’En Compte Tinto, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 40% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, was aged for 14 months in new French and American oak. It reveals a bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, lavender, spice box, and black cherry. Firm and structured on the palate, it is very tasty in a straightforward manner. It can be enjoyed over the next eight years.
