Solid Priorat- juicy, velvety blackcurrant balances an otherwise savory backbone. Notes of black licorice, herbs de Provence

More fruit forward than baby sister to Clos Galena. Black cherry and currant with a minty cedar box and minerality and soft finish. Quality wine!!

Medium ruby in color; raspberries, cherries, and dried herbs on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like hibiscus, pomegranates, raspberry jam, and crushed gravel with a long finish. I love this wine. Nellie likes it with pork.

Surprisingly fruity for Priorst with dark cherry & blackberry, a bit brambly, a touch of licorice. Smooth & elegant.
Medium bodied on the palate with a nice tannic frame - polished & juicy yet with an edge. Pure fruit and nice acidity - this has great flow & energy. only downside, the alcohol (14.5%) is noticeable in the finish.
Not the most mineral Priorat nor most flashy & heavy, but drinking really nicely right now.

Galena is a blend of 35% Garnacha, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 15% Cariñena. The tannines haven’t completely softened yet. Lots of black fruits, some oak and spices, and overall very supple and ripe.

Мощная животинка, спелые ягоды и кожа. Отличный баланс. 91/100.
