Arbossar Priorat Carignan 2011

What is the official grape of Priorat, Grenache or #Carignan?

Grenache may be better known, especially in modern times, but this version of 60 year vine Carignan is making a good case for the latter.

Violet flowers, blackberry and blueberry, a little graphite and a shade of light spice. The tannins are ripe and medium grain, going almost powdery extending into the finish.

Make sure you open and let it get air for an hour before you get into the wine.
