2015 saw a return to dry and warm years like 2012, and the 2015 1902 Centenary Carignan was saved from the heat wave in July by 60 liters of rain in June. The destemmed grapes fermented with neutral yeasts in stainless steel, and the wine matured in three brand new French oak barrels for 16 months. The technical data lists almost seven grams of residual sugar, which surprised me. It's ripe, full-bodied and powerful, concentrated and juicy. It's a very powerful and heady Cariñena, with a polished texture. It feels tender and young. 864 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2017. I had the chance to taste a bottle of the never-released 2005, an experimental vintage from a year that could have some similarities with 2015, and the wine felt very balanced and still young, not showing any heat.<br/>Poboleda is another village where Cariñena excels, and the 1902 old-vine cuvée from Mas Doix can be a very good example. If last time I was delighted because I had two vintages of that wine, this time I got three! Could it be that they are selling at a faster pace now?

Mas Doix
Una tradizione iniziata più di un secolo fa, quando le famiglie Doix e Llagostera fondarono la cantina Mas Doix nel 1998. Situata nel villaggio di Poboleda, nella regione rocciosa di Priorat, nel nord-est della Spagna, l’azienda si concentra sulla coltivazione di antichi vigneti di Garnacha Tinta e Cariñena, due varietà autoctone. I vini che ne derivano hanno già attirato l’attenzione di tutti i famosi critici del mondo e hanno ricevuto un punteggio quasi massimo da Robert Parker per alcune annate. La loro gamma include il Mas Doix, ottenuto da un antico vitigno d’eccellenza, e il Mas Doix Salanques, vino di punta dell’azienda.
