Doix 2008 (Magnum)

"The 2008 DOIX Costers Vinyes Velles reveals a deep purple color with outstanding aromatic complexity. Notes of liquid minerality, licorice, lavender, Asian spices, and black cherry lead to a supple, savory effort loaded with spice and personality. There is a nicely concealed structure that will allow the wine to evolve for several years although it is approachable now. It will be best from 2013 to 2028. 
Mas Doix has a story quite common in Priorat in which professional people living in the big cities return to reclaim the family heritage (and are having more fun than they ever did before). Mas Doix’s flagship cuvee is named DOIX Costers Vinyes Velles with an annual production of only 4-7,000 bottles. It is typically a blend of old-vine Garnacha and Carinena (80-108 years of age) with the proportions varying slightly from year to year. The wine is aged in 100% new French oak for 14-18 months."

"El vino más importante de la bodega, que cuenta con gran reconocimiento a nivel internacional, es el que muestra más nítidamente el terruño del Priorta. En esta compleja añada merece un lacre pleno por su excelente madurez, su amplio bouquet, su complejidad y su agradable y marcada licorosidad. Potente, con gran equilibrio, untuoso paso de boca y final frutal. Un vino elaborado con las parcelas centenarias de la finca de la que toma el nombre".
