Antonio Galloni: 96 PointsThe 2005 Costa Russi shimmers on the palate with extraordinary grace. The wine boasts wonderful depth and richness in its dark red fruit in a round, generous style that offers lovely balance to the tannins. Notes of tar, smoke...

Robert Parker The Wine Advocate:  92 Points The 2008 Espectacle del Montsant has a very distinctive, oyster shell-scented bouquet that expresses its terroir extremely well, hints of fennel emerging with continued aeration. The palate is fleshy in...
