Raised in large oak and concrete vats, this exuberant Priorat delivers classic character at a bargain price. Vi de Vila offers finely etched, mineral-driven cherry, floral qualities and discreet tannins. There is enough depth to reward patience, assuming you can resist its immediate charms. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, May 2021) — 15 days ago

So rad! Developing really nicely and has not lost the sense of vitality these wines have in youth. Black brambly fruit, smoked herbs, rocks, exotic spices, sweet cloves, fur. Walks the line of soif and contemplation very well. — 2 months ago

Revisiting this wine - similar to prior notes but w/incredibly vivid white flowers & soft creamy edges of lemon curd, very elegant & lithe. Not how I expected this to develop. Absolutely delicious — a month ago

Blackberries, tar and plumb. A spicie aftertaste builds over time. Overall fruit body with very very mild tannins. Nice right out of the bottle. — 2 months ago

This has developed a bit more complexity on the nose since my last taste a year ago. Red cherry and blackberry followed by incense, black tea, vanilla, and a bit forest floor and hint of smoked meat, then the lovely cherry note resurfaced. Well balanced with acidic and tanning structures for further aging. What a value! — a month ago
