The Grapes of Immortality as Salvador Dali painted them -- this wine made by Dali's family friends from Penedes is not DO as it's made from Cab Sauv and Petite Syrah varieties. It is though a rich and well balanced fruity wine that is beginning to open up tertiary animal and mushroom aromas. Black currants and cherries lead, it is subtly oaked with spice and some lingering black pepper. Finish, tannins and acidity are medium though. My fruit lead style of red I like, lacks some complexity
