Introduction

Every participant had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought by the others. All wines were tasted blind, also without knowing when the wine you brought yourself was poured.

  • 2018 Mas Doix Priorat Salanques 92 Points

    The bouquet is still reticent and shows some minerals and oak. On the palate the oak is more evident and not fully integrated yet. There are juicy red berries, also some dark berries and sweet spices, firm acidity and sticky tannin. Beautiful wine but still too young. Wait until 2027 at least.

Flight 4 (3 Notes)

  • 2020 Cellers de Scala Dei Priorat Prior 92 Points

    Beautiful bouquet with red berries, herbs, laurel, anise and some smoke. On the palate red berries, cherries, sweet licorice, herbs and spices, sweet chocolate, a pleasant light dose of oak and sweetness and good acidity and round tannin. With enough air time already a pleasure, but the wine will improve over the next 3 – 5+ years.

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2015 Balaguer i Cabré Priorat Lluna Vella

    Spain, Catalunya, Priorat

    Garrigue in the bouquet, some smoke as well. On the palate herbs and spices, red berries, sweet spices, thyme and laurel, juicy acidity and mild tannin. Some thought this wine was too old and/or light damaged. While drinking the leftover 2 days later, the wine was light bodied and had a short finish, but was better than expected. Nevertheless; no score because this could be an off bottle.

Closing

Concluding we can say that the wines from Priorat deserve some ageing. 10 years or more are no problem.
