The 2004 Salanques is the second wine of Mas Doix made from barrels not making the cut for Costers de Vinas Viejas. It is 65% Garnacha 20% Carinena and equal parts Syrah Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon aged 14 months in French oak. Inky purple the wine has a lovely perfume of mineral truffle pencil lead kirsch black currant and blueberry. Ripe and full-bodied the wine has a velvety texture superb depth and gobs of flavor. Drink this pleasure-packed wine over the next 8-10 years.
