Gratallops Priorat Cariñena Blend
Priorat, Catalunya, Spain
Plush ‘n plummy. Hints of warm chestnuts, cinnamon and mocca. Oaky influences on the nose, better integration on the palate. Alcohol is more in check now.
Very good plus.

Stunner! Whiff of Priorat right out of the bottle with that intense rich soil - dusty with stone & minerals interspersed with ripe red/black fruit, licorice and lifted herbal aromas. Inky w/absolutely no signs of age, drank broad across the palate with beautiful integrated & firm tannins and harmonious lengthy finish.

Purple color. Black fruit nose along cocoa, tar, wood. Alcohol and tannins well integrated. Nice round wine. Paired with figbread an St. Augur: fantastic combination. Brings the fruit in the wine above!

Zin moves outta da way. BIG black fruit. Needed 10 minutes to open even after decanting. The transition was fun and the wine was glorious at the end. . At $44 it is a bargain. I'll shop for this to have at home

But.... Alcohol is the problem. Poking out, not integrating at all. Maybe tomorrow is a better day for this bottle?
