Medium bodied, lighter than previous vintages by Bodegas Mas Alta. This is an amazing price of $16.99 at KL Wines. There is some confusion on the blend between Jen Dunnuck and Parker.

Agree with Joe. Unexpectedly light. Menthol and blackberry. Slightly unpleasant finish.

The Priorat varietal is a new experience for me.
Medium bodied very drinkable and reasonable price.
The only other DOC religion other than Rioja that needs more research by me.
