2007 Acustic Celler Garnatxa Auditori Montsant($80) Vivid purple; this is awfully dark for the variety. Seductively perfumed bouquet of black raspberry, boysenberry, incense, potpourri and Asian spices. Velvety red and dark berry flavors show liqueur-like depth and sweetness, with a racy vein of acidity adding energy. Gentle tannins add support and focus to the long, impressively pure and juicy finish. This is delicious now but I'd give it a few more years to move beyond the fruit-driven stage and gain complexity.

2007 Acustic Celler Brao Montsant($40; a 50/50 blend of garnatxa and samso) Bright purple. Cherry, redcurrant, cinnamon and fruitcake on the nose. Sweet red fruit flavors are framed by fine-grained tannins and given lift by blood orange and mineral qualities. Pinot-like in its focus and delicacy, with strong finishing notes of strawberry and spices. No fat on this wine.

2006 Acustic Celler Brao Montsant($40; a 50/50 blend of garnacha and samso, which is local dialect for carignan) Inky purple color. Black cherry, cocoa and sexy oak spices on the nose. Fresh dark berry and cherry flavors are brightened by cinnamon and clove, picking up numbing white pepper on the back end. Plenty fat and sweet but also brisk, with suave vanilla and cola character on the lengthy finish.

Juicy red berry flavors pack solid punch but are surprisingly lithe, with good back-end lift and snap. Brisk red berry skin qualities dominate the long, taut finish. I really like this wine's energy.
