"The 2006 Espectacle de Montsant delivers a perfume of super-fragrant cherries, spice box, olives, and incense. On the palate it is full-bodied, opulent, layered, and succulent. Dense, thick, and very long in the finish, it is irresistible now but will age effortlessly . . . . Espectacleâs fruit is sourced from a single vineyard of 100+-year-old Garnacha vines located at La Figuera on the northern edge of the Montsant DO. The vineyard is looked after by Rene Barbierâs Clos Mogador team and the wine is vinified in one 4000-liter oak vat at Celler Laurona. This results in the production of about 5000 bottles in a normal year."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
