Score 96/100 · Drink 2012-2026, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Jun 2009

The 2006 La Basseta is 45% Carinena, 40% Garnacha, and 15 % Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 15 months in 50% new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple, it has a sensational aromatic array of liquid minerals, wood smoke, underbrush, lavender, incense, black cherry, and blueberry that leapfrogs from the glass. Surprisingly elegant, it has that extra dimensionality that only old vines can produce. Complex, hedonistic, and exceptionally lengthy, this brilliant effort will evolve for several years and offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2026. Importer: Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel.

Score 92/100 · Josh Raynolds, Sep 2008

(50% carinena, 40% garnacha and 5% each of syrah and merlot) Inky ruby. Dark cherry and black raspberry on the nose, with mineral, rose and roasted coffee accents. Deeply concentrated dark berry flavors are impressively pure and enlivened by juicy acidity. Suave oak spice notes gain power on the fresh, long finish, which strongly repeats the dark fruit notes.
