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.
