NOSTER Sants 2006 (55% Grenache, 35% Carignan, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon)

Complex and intense aromas of mature cherries, blackberries and raspberries, perfectly integrated with notes of cacao, caramel, almonds and nutmeg.  Full-bodied, silky and round, with powerful fruit and mature tannins.  Multiple complex layers of flavors and a very long and elegant finish.  This blend is made entirely out of free run (juice obtained before pressing).  The grapes are hand picked and selected again at a sorting table before destemming.  Fermented and aged for 18 months in new French oak (Allier forest-Cadus & Demptos), extra fine grain, 300lts barrels.  Bottle-aged for a minimum of 4 years at La Perla's underground cellar.
