The '17XI' Montsant by Buil & Gine is a translucent colored red blend comprised of 35% Red Garnacha, 35% Cariñena and 30% Tempranillo (vine age 10-45 years) that was aged in American oak for six months prior to bottling. The wine begins with earthy aromatics of dried sage, wet stone, bulls blood, black cherry compote and peat moss. There are ripe flavors of black tea, black truffle, black raspberry liquor and hints of crushed mint. Layered and polished, this wine will cellar well into the next decade and potentially more.
