La Conreria d'Scala Dei
Iugiter Priorat Grenache Blend
Priorat, Catalunya, Spain
Nice value Priorat. Dark in color, nice oxidative rustic nose of crushed dried flower petals, clove, brown sugar, and plums. Palate has a touch of Brett, depth and concentration but also a lively acidity most likely from the Carignan. Medium tannins, medium (+) body, and alcohol is a bit pronounced. Some earthy, mushroomy funk on the palate. Not a bad bottle at all, but not sure it should fetch the $30 price point it goes for. Maybe $20 is more appropriate.

Amazing priorat! Perfect after a long cellar tour where the guy mumbles too much and another guy sniffs constantly
