Delicious legit Priorato w/great density & vigor: inky big time black fruit & minerality on nose, forest floor, spices like cinnamon & clove - earthy, soil, really complex. Fresh on palate but still with great tannic grip - tons of fruit but balanced w/secondary layers. Paired well w/braised short ribs — 3 years ago
This for me shows the true character and style of #Priorat #Priorato a blend of #carignane #cariñena and #garnacha with that pure concentrated #mediterranean style and an excellent maturing in oak. — 4 years ago
2007 vintage.
From Priorato, Catalunya, Spain.
Grown organically in slate rich, Licorella soil.
A blend of Carignan/Mazuelo , Garnacha, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Black fruit, liquorice and minerals on the nose.
This is Priorato so it’s all about graphite, minerals, dark raspberries and plums.
This wine has aged beautifully. Tannins have precipitated and softened with a good amount of sediment.

Purchased at winery: legit Priorato here with that schisty style, took forever to open, disintegrated cork, and I almost lost hope - eventually yielded stunning eclectic & complex nose of dusty minerals, cherry & blackberry compote, medicinal, spice, a hi-toned note, really evolving. Smooth rich luxurious on palate, great density & mouthfeel, tons of minerals & red & black fruit w/just enough acidity to balance it all out. Persistent finish. This isn’t their hi end bottling, and it isn’t Clos Mogador or anything like that, but this is absolutely Priorato with some more life ahead. — 3 years ago

Decent Priorato - really looking for more of that schisty slate minerality, but it delivers on drinkability. Red & black fruited nose, some smoke & peppery, a bit feisty - palate is smooth & sumptuous, medium + body, smooth tannins w/decent structure. Loads of fruit & spice on palate, balanced w/some length on finish. For a ‘17 - only mi or bricking on edge, still youthful — 10 months ago
