Tasting Notes:

Rich in minerals and saturated with Mediterranean character, this wine unleashes exuberant aromas of mature fruits and spices. Its concentrated taste is enrobed in a fine texture that gives it an attractive liveliness, while its rich and mellow yet always-complex palate lasts until the final touch of fruit.

Robert Parker (RP) : 89+ Points (2012)

The 2012 Grande Reserve is a 60/40 blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in a 60/40 mixture of new and second use French oak. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. Livelier and fresher than the 2011, this is a more precise wine, although it lacks the mouth-coating richness of the 2011. The flavors are a bit more youthful, and the fruit has a little more lift to it. Of course, it is tinged with that Syrah beefiness. I'm wondering now if this will evolve as the 2011 did, settling down, putting on a little weight and becoming more impressive. It just might. Certainly, the 2011 shows better right now.

El Ixsir 2016

A deep purple-ruby color. Nice complexity of aromas with red fruits, blackberry liqueur, touches of incense, and notes of mint and cedar sap. The palate a continuation of the nose, suave and intense, with a nice mineral tension characteristic of great limestone terroirs. A fresh finish and an extended length which reveals a great aging aptitude.
