A lovely blend from Priorat of around 50/50 Garnacha and Carinena, sometimes with a little Merlot included in some years. A red and black fruited palate with ripe blackcurrant. Opulent. I have a previous Delectable note for this wine - 77? Weeks ago. Reinforces my love of Priorat and Garnacha in particular. From the producer’s oldest vines - approximately 110 years. The 14.5% Alcohol does not show at all.

Jul 13th, 2025Mid to dark Ruby in colour. Black and Red fruits - aromatics of blackberry, note of raspberry, earthy and sandy notes. A medium to full bodied palate - rich and enduring. Costers de Vinyes Vielles comes from the company’s oldest vines. A blend of 110 year old Carinena (55%) and 90 year old Garnacha (45%). Aged for 16 months in French oak. One of the 1001 Wines. 14.5% ABV. Love Priorat wines after our visit in 2022.

Now we're talking. 3rd day open and really hitting its stride! Deep black and red fruit, that slate minerality and acidity are still really vibrant. I guess I should open the Doix 2 days ahead from now on, eh?

Last bottle 😿 yawning depth to the berry fruit here, bolstered by some cranberry acidity. Perfumed candied Violets and that smoky priorat character. Muscle and finesse. I don't think I could drink more than one glass (too boozy, 15%) but I think we drink a lot of these wines way too young, and it's nice to see some evolution
