The 2011 Flor de Englora “Garnatxa” comes from 35-year-old vines and sees no new oak. It has a ripe dark plum and cranberry-scented bouquet that is quite dense and powerful, with touches of undergrowth emerging with aeration. The palate is crisp and animated on the entry with a citric thread of acidity interwoven through a ripe cranberry, pomegranate and wild strawberry fruit profile. The tannins are edgy and brittle, lending fine tension, while the finish is a little abrupt, but by then you are already satisfied. This is a very fine, natural Montsant red. Drink now-2016. Baronia del Montsant is a three-hectare estate in Cornudella de Montsant belonging to Carlos Macias and Xavier Canals. They are now also managing their neighbour’s estate, from which the first four wines originate. Importer: Steven Berardi Selections, CO; tel. (303) 838-1963
