2002 Celler Vall Llach Idus RP--90

Robert Parker: 90 Points
Wine Advocate #159 Jun 2005 Robert Parker 90 Drink: 2005 - 2011 $48 (62) The concentrated, blueberry-scented and flavored 2002 Idus is a blend of 40% old vine Carignan, 20% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the remainder tiny quantities of Syrah and Grenache. Clean, crisp notes of toasty new oak, lead pencil shavings, blueberries, and black currants are followed by a classy, racy, mid-level Bordeaux-like wine with both elegance and flavor authority. Already approachable, it is best drunk over the next 5-6 years.
