The 2015 Negre is a blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Garnatxa Negra and 20% Carignan from Marçà in Montsant. Aged for 12 months in French and American oak, this garnet-hued wine reveals subtle fleshy notes alongside black pepper and black fruit marmalade, all set against a woody backdrop. On the palate, it is dry, silky and compact, gliding smoothly with a faintly talc-like texture. This is a ripe yet nimble red.
