"A real bruiser, the 2011 Mas Sinén Coster is made only from Garnacha and Cariñena selected from slope vineyards and matured in barrels for one year. Dark-colored, almost opaque, dense and brooding, it offers aromas of graphite, pencil lead, noble woods (ebony?) and plenty of chocolate, licorice - basically all things black. The palate is extremely powerful and concentrated, it is oaky, but the fruit seems to be in sync with the oak. It has everything, simply in very large doses. Even though the label says 15% alcohol it ends quite warm. Yes, it's a bruiser, but good in its style. It will need time but might come into its own in a few years. 1,000 bottles. - Luis Gutierrez"
