Wine Advocate: The 2007 Flor de Flor de Primavera (Kosher) is 100% Garnacha sourced from 85- to 105-year-old vines and aged for 18 months in new and 1 year French oak. It sports an expressive perfume of minerals, exotic spices, incense, black cherry, and lavender. It deftly combines elegance with power on the palate along with outstanding grip and balance. Give it another 3-4 years of cellaring and drink it from 2014 to 2022. 94 Points
Capcanes, La Flor de Flor, Montsant, Catalunya, Spain, 2007: The kosher cuvee of the wineries Cabrida wine. Full-bodied, with generous but gently caressing tannins and spicy wood, made entirely from old vine Garnacha, the vines said to be anywhere from 80-110 years old. Dark garnet with orange and purple reflections, full-bodied and concentrated, packed with soft, gently caressing tannins. On first attack blueberries and wild berries, those followed by aromas and flavors of ripe plums, blackberries, chocolate ganache and fig notes. Tannins and fruits rise nicely on the long, velvety finish. Drinking nicely now but best 2012-2018, perhaps longer. Score 92. K
