Like the label says, red fruit, chocolate and vanilla notes, maybe a hint of white pepper too. This is a decent wine, but it is really not that dynamic or bold. Subtle, light, pleasant. Not bad for $16.

A "value" Priorat. Deep black cherry, plum, mocha, touch of anise. Great balance with soft gum gripping tannins.

Raspberry tinged with iron and mocha. Rich and ripe. Nice effort at this price point.

Full bodied and complex. Blackberry, black pepper, cinnamon, and vanilla notes. Very smooth tannins and well balanced.

What the hell happened here? Had high hopes for this one, but the fruit has completely fallen off. Waiting a few to see if it opens up at all, but I'm not hopeful.

A fantastically smooth Priorat blend with chocolate, vanilla, and red fruit dominating the bouquet, with complex mineral undertones and a silky feeling on the palate.
