89 Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2012 Pur is a blend of Syrah, Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon aged in barrel for three months. It has a young, fresh and fruity nose of red and black berries with notes of licorice and hints of flowers, with a fresh, lively, medium-bodied palate with a supple and licorice-driven aftertaste. Ideal with charcuterie. Drink now-2017. Mas Oller is the Emporda property of Carlos Esteva, owner of Can Rafols dels Caus in Penedes. This was an old vineyard before phyloxera, where the soils have a base of clay with slate but the vines disappeared with the plague. Esteva decided to resume the wine tradition of the property in 2000 and he produced some experimental wines between 2004 and 2008, finally launching his first commercial wines from the 2008 harvest in 2009."
