This is a tough rating for a special wine. ex-Chateau, pristine, wax cap. Unbelievable $69 a bottle on a case buy. Despite some serious overstocking issues, I am very glad I bought this. Intense flavors of leather and tobacco and such a vibrant profile after 1/2 hr in the decanter, it is hard to believe this is a 1975. Still a mellowed backdrop of acidity and such a classical fine Tempranillo. Based on QPR this is a great value and the pristine ex-Chateau quality make this is 9.4+ for me — a year ago

Celler de Capcanes is a modern cooperative in the province of Tarragona. Founded in 1933. Aromas of hot wet bitumen road with mint, menthol, herbs. After a while in the decanter a ripe red fruited perfume and a touch of tar. No sign of raspberry which one often gets with new world Grenache. A medium to full bodied palate. The following night the palate was a little “blocky” without much nuance. I’m somewhat non-plussed for the price and reputation. 100% Garnacha; one of the 1001 Wines; approximately 3000 bottles made. Imported into Australia by the wonderfully named “The Spanish Acquisition “. Postscript: The name derives from when the vineyards were abandoned and taken over by goats (cabra means goat). — 3 years ago
