Mas Donis Barrica is a custom cuvee made for importer Eric Solomon using old-vine Garnacha (80+ years) and Syrah (30+ years). The 2005 Mas Donis Barrica is 85 % Garnacha and 15% Syrah aged for 8 months in French and American oak before bottling without fining or filtration. It offers up an expressive nose of slate mineral licorice violets black cherry and blueberry. Layered long and complex this spicy hedonistic effort has 2-3 years of aging potential but can be enjoyed now without guilt. It is a great value.
