Tomas Cusine 2012 'Llebre' Tinto, Costers del Segre DO
Rating: 87

The 2012 Llebre is another multi-grape blend (Ull de Llebre, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Carinena and Syrah) aged for a short time in oak to produce a modern, fruit-driven, jammy red with notes of strawberry compote and sweet spices and a round, polished palate. Drink now. Tomas Cusine produces a whole range of whites and reds in the Costers del Segre appellation as well as other wines in Conca de Barbera and Catalunya. A prolific, reliable name.
