Amazing color. It tastes like a lazy spring day wandering the streets in Barcelona. Brushing up against ancient Spanish history, full of life and celebration. Not too full bodied. Pairs well with a night out to sample the world with beautiful, soulful people in a Spanish city of your choice.

The last vintage before the move to both BIO/organic, and a different label also. Starts out big, dark and pruney, tightens up to bright red fruit on finish. Kind of weird but not unpleasant.

Raspberry is dominant especially in the nose. Some chalk and liquerice on the side. Tad dark and goes nice in the winter

85% Garnacha, 15 % Syrah. Maceration carbonique? Light color, ripe raspberries. Very nice.

STRUCTURE. Tar, leather and some really big dark fruits. Great vintage. I sell this to the dudes at the bar who always ask about napa cabs but want to try something new. 🙈

Far too easy at 14.5% ABV -- Those at Joan D'Anguera continue to make the (cheaper) sorts of lush, coastal, black & red Garnatxa focused wines that one would expect from the shadow of Priorat...

Raspeberries and liquorice. Surprisingly light for a region surrounding Priorat. Engaging, without being compelling.
