Ripe fruits, wet rocks, petrichor, grilled mushrooms, dried herbs. Notes of ripe plum on the palate. Unlike most Priorat, it's only 25% Grenache. The rest comes from Samsó (Carignan), Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot which explains the amount of tannins left even after sitting in the bottle for 16 years. Macadamia and marzipan on the finish. Give it at least 1 hour in a decanter. — 5 years ago

Empordà is proving an exciting corner of the wine world for Carignan, locally called Samsó. Rhodes is the top red from Mas Llunes, where Samsó is blended with Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Structured with plush, chewy tannins, the wine leads in blue tones - blueberry and violet, tarragon and sage - with a subtle, pleasant smoky gaminess. — 4 years ago
