The 2006 Abadal Seleccio is composed of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Syrah aged for 14 months in French oak. A saturated purple color, it reveals an already complex nose of sandalwood, scorched earth, espresso, incense, spice box, black cherry, and black currant. In the mouth this buxom effort is dense, succulent, and long. It merits 4-5 years of additional cellaring and will present a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2026.
