Reviews

Romazini: 4/5 Stars

The Winespectator: 89/100 Points

The 2007 Les Alcusses is a blend of 50% Monastrell with the balance Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo aged for four months in French oak. A glass-coating purple color, it reveals an alluring bouquet of violets, blueberry, and black cherry. Chunky and flavorful in the mouth, it has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. Drink this slightly rustic effort through 2015.

Stephen Tanzer: 91/100 Points

Vintage 2006: Monastrell, tempranillo, syrah and mando) Inky ruby. Fresh raspberry and cherry on the nose, with suave baking spice and pungent floral qualities adding nuance. Tangy and precise, offering fresh red fruit and mineral flavors and a silky texture. There's an enticing pinot-like freshness to this wine. Clean and focused on the very persistent finish. Very sexy wine.
