They now use some grapes from new vineyards they started planting in the year 2000. The nose has plenty of black fruit, with something earthy, including hints of graphite and lead pencil. It has a classical, somehow Bordelaise, profile with sweet spices and cedar wood; it's ripe without excess. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with good balance, in an XL style, as the wine hits the scales at 15% alcohol. The tannins are very polished, with some grainy texture and good freshness. This is ready now and should also be able to age nicely in bottle, set to be a commercial success, with the typical Aalto profile. 260,000 bottles produced." - Luis Gutiérrez

It was then allowed to ferment with the natural yeasts in two separate stainless steel tanks, 70% malolactic fermentation and bottled in a 1500ml with very low sulphur.

Like several wines in the range there is a lovely texture to the middle weight flavors that possess both vibrancy and detail, all wrapped in a mildly austere but well-balanced finale the delivers good if not special depth and persistence." - Allen Meadows

Deliciously drinkable now but with potential." Decanter

Note. Bottled this year under Bellene, rather than Domaine de Bellene or the Negociant - Maison Roche de Bellene. Due to smaller quantities of wines from the 2016 vintage.

92/100 | Robert Parker: "The 2007 Classic Caranyana, sourced from pure Carinena vines between 60 and 105 years old and aged for 18 months in new French oak, is only produced in selected years. The nose is very well-defined with crisp red fruits, raspberry, blood orange, minerals and just a hint of vanilla emanating from the oak. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins, notes of crisp blackberry, briary and a touch of black truffle that leads to a grippy, harmonious finish that deserves a decade to see what it can do. Excellent. Drink 2017-2027." - Neal Martin
