This Spanish red is made from 45% Cariñena, 50% Garnacha and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from old vines. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged 14 months in new French Allier (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels and 8 months in bottle. 14% alcohol. TASTING NOTES:
Dark red color with a rich nose of raspberry-blackberry. Saturated, chewy red fruit, black currant, minerals and herbs. Thick and concentrated.
SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:
89+ PTS
Very good wine but overpriced. For around $30, this simply isn't exciting or dynamic enough for my taste. You can find much lower priced Priorats that will give you just as much enjoyment.
