Mas Doix

"Doix" is the name of the family, and "Costers Vinyes Velles" means sloped old vineyards. The grapes come from a very old family vineyards where the cariñenas are more than 100years old, and the garnachas are between 80 and 90 years old.

Wine Advocate

The 2005 Costers de Vinas Viejas is aged for 16 months in new French oak. The wine is a blend of 50% Carinena, 48% Garnacha, and 2% Merlot. Purple-colored, it has an other-worldly perfume of pain grille, grilled meat, spice cabinet, espresso, mineral, wild blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a powerful, masculine, intense Priorat with gobs of flavor, 8-10 years of cellaring potential, and a very long finish. It will be at its peak from 2018 to 2040.

Score: 98. —Jay Miller, February 2008.

Wine Spectator

This beautiful red is expressive, harmonious and intense. Black raspberry and pomegranate flavors are juicy and focused, backed by vanilla, nutmeg, anise and mountain herbs. Elegant on the palate, this drives through the finish with power and length. Drink now through 2020.

Score: 95. —Thomas Matthews, December 15, 2007.
