The Wine Advocate:

The first wine they produced in 2000 has been changing through the years, and nowadays the 2016 Les Alcusses is a blend of 40% Monastrell and 10% Tintorera, with French grapes for the rest and in percentages that are lower each year; in 2019, they are 15% each Petit Verdot and Syrah and 10% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from ripe grapes that reached 14% alcohol. The blend matured in 225- and 500-liter oak barrels for eight months. This is the only wine that keeps a more traditional profile—spicy, a bit volatile and with more advanced aromas—because it has its audience. In fact, it feels like a different wine from the rest of the portfolio, a bit more Italian perhaps, riper and with a lot more tannin and in need of powerful food. 98,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2019.
