Deep in color, the 2010 D'Issan opens with baked blackberries, blackcurrant jelly and stewed plums scents, with hints of charcoal. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is bright and refreshing with chewy, textured black fruits and an earthy finish.
La Serra Negre is a blend of old-vine Cariñena and Garnacha from a single vineyard. It is matured in new French oak foudre which might explain the initial oaky note. The palate is sinewy, fine-grained and has good acidity that lends elegance and balance.
