Score 98/100 · Drink 2008-2020, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Feb 2008
This is the second vintage of Ester Nin’s Nit de Nin. Nin’s day job is vineyard manager of Clos Erasmus. A whopping three barrels is produced from 80- to 100-year-old vines from the village of Porrera. The 2005 Nit de Nin is 60% Garnacha, 30% Carinena, and 10% Syrah aged for 18 month in French oak. Purple-colored, the wine has a super-expressive perfume of mineral, truffle, licorice, Asian spices, cassis, kirsch, and blueberry. Smooth-textured, layered, spicy, and a total turn-on, this very long, pleasure-bent wine will evolve for 4-6 years but can be enjoyed now through 2020. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
