The 2006 Englora is purple colored with an attractive nose of spice box, mineral, black cherry, and plum. Although it seems to have outstanding raw materials, the wine is currently out of balance with the tannin having the upper hand. There is plenty of fruit there so perhaps another 4-5 years may bring harmony, but that is a substantial gamble. Importer: Steven Berardi Selections, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 838-1963

The 2004 Englora is composed of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Garnacha,16% Carinena, and 3% other varieties aged for 9 months in French and American oak. Inky purple, it offers an enticing perfume of cedar, pencil lead, mineral, spice box, black cherry, and blueberry. The wine is full-bodied with serious depth and length but is slightly compressed in the finish. A few years of cellaring should flesh this wine out and it will then provide gratification through 2024.Importer: Steven Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 838-1963

A blend of 50% Tempranillo, 35% Grenache, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2002 Englora tastes like a baby Priorat. Crushed rock, violet, black raspberry, and cherry aromas soar from the glass of this deep, medium-bodied, seriously-endowed, rich, well-structured, and delineated offering. It can be drunk now or aged for 5-7 years. Importer: Steven Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 329-3180
