The essence of mint and orange peel add character to the youthful red fruit that defines the bouquet of this 100% Garnacha. Cherry, plum skin and red licorice flavors come in front of a zesty, sharp, lean finish. There’s not much fat or waste to this wine; it’s precise and racy, and eminently tasty. It’s a fine starter Garnacha.——M.S.(3/1/2004)—— 87
