The 2011 Teixar wears the subtitle 'Garnatxa Vella', old Garnacha in Catalan, as it's sourced from a plot of 60 year old vines planted with the 'hairy' strain of Garnacha, the Garnacha Peluda. It has a ripe nose of stewed berries and prunes with plenty of balsamic and spicy notes. It matured for one year in barrels, which might have imparted that chocolatey sensation that surrounds it. The palate is full-bodied, with abundant fine tannins and a slightly warm finish. It needs powerful dishes.
