I love this. Great value. 50/50 Garnacha/Carinena. Nose has ripe cherry, raspberry, spice, and crushed slate. Pretty big in the mouth, as one would expect from Priorat, but not too big. Yes, there’s a little peppery heat there, but the acids are good and the tannins soft. After the pepper dies down there are lingering notes of cherry extract and licorice.

This is amazing for $13. A blend of 50% garnacha and 50% carinena. Smooth black cherry, plum, a touch of charcoal, and mint. Definitely recommend.

Color of ruby and cranberry juice. Quite clear. Nose of spice, dried strawberry, tobacco leaves, cherry jam, strength of alcohol, and ripe grapes. Taste basically follows the nose with addition of marginal tannins and hint of black pepper. Also some more sweetness note. Aftertaste of some more ripe grapes and a tiny bit zesty. Flavors keep coming. Above average.
