Pretty restrained, bright, and balanced for a Priorat. Nose has bright red berry fruit and super-clean crushed stone, with a note of smoke and a lick of red licorice stick. Concentrated but light-footed fruit in the mouth, leading to a medium length and very pure finish. Bone dry, tannins on the medium-light side, and no alcohol showing at all. Great value and a flexible wine with food.

Fantastic! Raisin and walnut nose with a bright, tart red fruit palate. Expressive, precise, just the right amount of tannic structure. Really impressive.

Pretty good, agree with @Tom Casagrande for the most part. Started off VERY earthy & savory eventually yielding to liqueur like red fruit + tons of minerals. Scratched itch for Priorat, but definitely entry level

Agua Fresca. Peaked my interest enough to try their flagship bottles for sure.

Balanced blend of garnacha/grenache and cariñena/carignan, and impressed with its Burgundian-like restraint instead of fruit-bombing its presence. Smoked meats and licorice dominate the nose. Well-integrated tannins lead to candied cherries and basil on the tongue.
