Lively crisp dark berry with a few herbal notes and an enjoyable slate like "minerality". Hard to believe it was an '03 although it gets big in a hurry. Almost worth $40...would work well with bison.

Первую випили почти сразу, примерно год назад, с гостями, после гриль-бара, впечатление было прекрасное, но не слишком отчетливое из-за выпитого до этого приличного количества вина, однако сложилось понимание, что и вторую стоит выпить в ближайшее время, долго не хранить. В этот раз пили внимательно, с чувством, толком, расстановкой. Цвет бордовый, чуть выцветший; довольно густое, с выразительными подтеками; богатое в аромате и вкусе, medium-body; чуть-чуть спиртуозно; в декантере 30 мин (можно было и пропустить) , немножко темных частичек в осадке; в аромате сладкая красная слива, сушеная вишня, камень/кирпич, кора дерева, деликатный молотый ч.перец; танины умеренные, но ощущаются во всей полости рта, обволакивают; они же замечательно длятся в послевкусии в сопровождении вишни и коры. Раскрываясь, становится богаче и выразительней, появляются ноты миндаля, правда легкий спирт остается. (1498 views) | | | Tasted by Mirrina on 4/16/2014 & rated 87 points: Later... (1726 views) | | | Tasted by fxhaddad on 6/5/2009 & rated 90 points: Close out, end of vintage?? for 55$?? Decanted 2hrs. Smell is wonderful, balanced, sweet new barrel, little to no toast! Tast - ligh aromatic w/red fruit flavors. Nice combo of blends of about 4 different grapes, (30% Red Grenache, 30% Carignan and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 10% Syrah) which leads it a bit dry. Little hints of oak, and the tanins are simple w/a simple yet somewhat long linger. Not too sure it's worth 55$. It's a current wine, to be corked w/in 2yrs. I would reconsider for a lesser price!

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-infoPrioratAbout 100 kilometers from Barcelona, Priorat originated as a distinct recognized wine region in 1932, and was approved in 1954.
