"The Old Slope." Produced from a steep southfacing slope llicorella (decomposed slate) planted in the 1940s exclusively to the Mazuelo variety. Fermentation takes place in French oak roll fermenters, followed by malolactic and aging in new French oak barriques. 2006 vintage has been blended with 6% old vine Garnacha and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Finca la Planeta. 100 cases made.
"The 2006 El Vell Coster is 100% Carinena aged for 18 months in 400-liter French oak. It offers up an alluring bouquet of pain grille, lavender, cinnamon, liquid mineral, incense, and blueberry. Layered and nearly opulent on the palate, it conceals enough ripe tannin for another 5-7 years of evolution. This succulent, sexy effort has a 60-second finish. Its drinking window will extend from 2015 to 2030. "

"Glass-staining ruby. Intensely perfumed, seductive bouquet of dark berries, minerals and fresh flowers, with cracked pepper and smoky Indian spices adding complexity. Sweet cherry and blackcurrant flavors are given a nervy quality by suave minerality and gain depth with aeration. Supple, juicy and precise on the finish, with lingering notes of sweet red and dark berry skin. Lovely stuff, with the balance to reward aging."
