2010 Celler Cal Pla Priorat Black Slate Porrera (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) 10/31/2019Vino Me89

This Priorat is a venture between Eric Solomon, Philippe Cambie and producer Joan Sangenis. Aged for 1 year in 2 year old barrels. 60% Grenache (60+ year old vines) and 40% Carignan (80 year old vines). Crimson color. Not decanted. Notes of black pepper, raw meat and spicy red fruit. Moderate tannins. Drink now as this seemed to be slightly past it's peak. 89-90 points. (2989 views)

2010 Celler Cal Pla Priorat Black Slate Porrera (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) 5/20/2018Kentw88

Interesting bottle. The cork had some black sticky stuff under the foil. Cork broke in half but did not have any wetness in the middle to account for the sticky top. Wine was fine, very acidic (not effervescent like some notes mentioned but more like a fresh white wine). The acidity backed off over the next half hour but the freshness stayed intact. Fruit forward, medium plus weight, with no tannin on the finish. Tasted more like a Ribera than a Priorat. We will see if other bottles are similar or if this was as unique bottle. (1637 views)

Dusty, chalky blueberry. Blue and black fruit, dense, concentrated, full-bodied. A touch floral with some dried violets and a little tartness. At times I got a little tingle on the tip of my tongue, as if there was a slight carbonation or effervessence, but it never lasted/always faded quickly. Very nice, but not as superb as the previous bottle from another vintage. Nonetheless a perennial buy. 88 pts. (1427 views)

2010 Celler Cal Pla Priorat Black Slate Porrera (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) 7/4/2014sawira91

Not made in a style I usually admire, this is big and bold. It does have more nuance than previously, and I'd even say this can benefit from some bottle age. Still this is quite delicious now, and has some detail to go with its brash orientation, so I might not wait too long - not really confident this will stay the course in the cellar. Surprisingly though, this is a muscle-bound loudmouth that actually walks its talk. Really quite good with grilled burgers. Just re-read my previous note from 18 months ago, and I'd say both notes show a pretty good picture into this wine's evolutionary track. Grudgingly, and respectfully, this deserves its 91pts.

At first I felt like I was experiencing some of the secondary fermentation mentioned in other review, characterized by the fizziness. If I did, it went away after about 30 minutes, as my wife did not detect it. This was very fruit forward with strong "grapey" notes for lack of a more sophisticated term. It seemed over extracted at first with hints of stewed fruit in the background but it balanced out over time and into the second day. Not unpleasant, but not sure where to go with this one. Let it sit or drink as a crowd pleaser red on the sweeter end of the spectrum? (2335 views)

it was the best wine i had ever had when i tried the first bottle a year ago or so and it's even better now. this time, for the first hour or two a silky texture brought forth much fruit, but without the sweetness it displayed on first try. then things started to build, with more body and power taking over, and this became quite potent in the final two hours. but what must be said is that at no time in the 4 1/2 hours we spent together did anything overwhelm. this was really awesome stuff.

Good primary notes of black cherry, blueberry jam and figs on the nose. There is also the undeniable presence of oak. Lots of new oak. The palate is thick with extracted fruit and oak.

2010 Celler Cal Pla Priorat Black Slate Porrera (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) 5/27/2013JVG84

Color: Deep, plummy purple.

Nose: Pretty tight. There's some rocky minerality, black licorice, and leather, as well as the high-toned burnt herb smell I associate with concentrated, old-vine grenache. But the fruit tends toward the grapey side, and I sense some heat and a lot of extraction. Not promising.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied and agressive.

Palate: It seems like this is based on good vines from good terroir, but the ripeness level and winemaking make for an awkward, unbalanced wine. The fruit is jammy and overextracted, which also makes the herbal and floral notes turn bitter, and the strong alcohol makes it almost taste like a liqeur (the label says 14.5%, but I think that's low; not sure of the labeling laws in Spain). It finished alcoholic and slightly bitter-sour, with moderate tannin.

I know this is extremely young, but I just don't see it ever coming into balance. It did improve some after I decanted it, but I still wasn't feeling it. (3046 views)

Nice wine with jammy component. Lacks the cedar/herbal component of most Priorat wines that I find enjoyable. Early drinking wine at a nice price point. (2937 views)

This is one big strong muscular wine but without the crazy alcohol or jaminess that usual accompany such wines. Really nice smoke, dark fruits, earth which just went so great with a spiced up grilled steak. (3097 views)

2010 Celler Cal Pla Priorat Black Slate Porrera (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) 5/6/2013Motz93

This is not a particularly complex wine...but it tastes so good, especially with a lot of air. It really works for what it is. Thankfully, it doesn't taste overdone. By the third day, the texture at the mid and back palate was stunning, silk-like. Based on comlexity, it deserves no more than 91, but it rates off-the-chain in the hedonism category, therefore 93.

It could age a few years without issue, but also responds remarkably to air. (3344 views)

2010 Celler Cal Pla Priorat Black Slate Porrera (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) 4/25/2013huse92

Another great Priorat wine from the village of Porrera (province of Tarragona / Catalunya). A typical Catalan blend of 60 percent Garnatxa and 40 percent Carinyena (60 to 80 year old vines) that was aged for 12 months in two year old barriques. Intense dark cherry-red in color and an exuberant bouquet of blackberry, cassis, tar, licorice and some slight earthy tones. On the palate this modernly styled wine combines power and elegance, revealing amazing amounts of refined red fruit, a perfect balance and wonderfully caressing tannins. Long and delicious finish. The wine is extremely enjoyable now (still in its open and fruity stage), but it has certainly a great potential to improve. An incredible value for the money.

Alweer een schitterende Priorat-wijn uit het dorpje Porrera (provincie Tarragona / Catalonië). Een typisch Catalaanse blend van 60 percent Garnatxa en 40 percent Carinyena (van 60 tot 80 jaar oude wijnstokken), die een rijping van 12 maanden in barriques (twee jaar oud) meekreeg. Intens donker kersrood van kleur, met een uitbundig bouquet van bramen, cassis, teer, zoethout en wat zachte aardse tonen. Gemaakt in een moderne stijl, paart deze wijn kracht aan elegantie ; een perfect uitgebalanceerde wijn vol verfijnd rood fruit en super zachte, fluwelige tannines. Lange, heerlijke finale. De wijn is nu bijzonder goed op dronk (nog steeds in zijn open en fruitige fase), maar heeft ook een goed ontwikkelingspotentieel. Onwaarschijnlijk veel wijn voor uw geld. (4925 views)

I had this after dinner on 4/20/13. It had a deep, smoky, pungent bouquet of black cherry, mocha, spice and minerals. The palate was ripe, powerful, dry and a little jammy with flavors of black cherry, raspberry, spice and minerals…also a touch of heat. (3038 views)

At a tasting. Initial impressions were dark fruits, smoke, and earth on the nose. Fruit forward, backed by considerable structure on the palate. Balanced, nice minerality, great mouthfeel, no harsh edges. Bought a bottle to try at a later date. (3163 views)

inky dark; new world nose of berries, a hint of mint and alcohol. Opulent palate of jam but not over oaked. Well rounded and structured with a respectable finish. Will pair wonderfully with lamb or pizza but great on its own as well. A rare find for the price (2893 views)

From 75cl, good cork. Taken on holiday to Egypt and drunk in idyllic circumstances by the Nile, but far too warm for a serious assesment. Intense, very sweet, balsamic, better on second day. No hurry. Judgement reserved. (3349 views)

Nose - cinnamon, clove, toasted oak
Mouth - full of Christmas spices. Sugar and spice and all that's nice. Seems overly sweet for my palate though I can see how many will love this. Possibly will pick up with some years in bottle. Recheck in several years. Points on potential. (3250 views)

Leather, blackberries, a little tar, lightly tannic - actually pretty wonderful. The only thing not to my liking is its a little sweet or jammy, but that's the Grenache, and it's not overpowering. Great wine for this price point! (3339 views)

Leather, blackberry, cassis, and strawberry all evident on the nose and the palate. Nice acidity and light tannin underneath. It seemed just slightly too jammy, but that might improve with age. Nice wine, worth watching over the next few years. (3279 views)

This note from long ago, and from memory. I remember deciding that I didn't like it enough to cellar it for the requisite time for it to be in my zone, though it would be significantly better then, and it'd be best used as a party wine over the next 8 years or so. Great for the price, but not really where I'm at these days. (2549 views)
