點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：9794

Minty, pointy oak aromas jump out at you, followed by pepper, leather, spice and herbal berry scents. Tight and structured in the mouth, with black plum and ripe berry flavors. Turns oaky and hot on the finish, with vanilla and pepper flavors. A little fiery but the real deal for Calatayud.——M.S.(11/1/2011)—— 88

The old-vine cuvee, the 2006 Las Rocas Vinyas Viejas, was recently reviewed in the Value issue but is worth reprinting because the 2007 has yet to be released. Aged entirely in French and American oak, it is purple-colored with a cedary, spicy, cherry and cranberry bouquet. More structured than the “regular” bottling, it has layered fruit, savory flavors, excellent depth, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. The Las Rocas label has become synonymous with value in recent years.Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
