TASTING: Robert Parker - Wine Advocate 2012

Àn/2 2010 – 92 points “The 2010 ÀN/2 is the same blend as the 2009. It has a touch more precision on the nose compared to the 2009, with crushed flowers developing with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with good backbone and more tension than the previous vintage. The finish is harmonious and poised with maraschino cherry and fresh strawberry lingering seductively. This is brimming over with delicious red fruit and thoughtful winemaking.”

Àn/2 2009 - 91 points “The 2009 ÀN/2 is a blend of 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre and Fogoneu and 15% Syrah aged in one-third French and American new oak. It has a wonderful bouquet of plush red berries, leather and melted tar that is very well defined and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins and lush, mocha-tinged red fruit that is blessed with a satin-like texture from start to finish. This is a lovely Mallorcan red.”
