  (EL VELL COSTER Pasanau) Vell Dear Friends, This wine is very hot right now and it’s taken almost a month to secure a few bottles. The El Vell Coster became famous in the collector’s eye a month or so ago (thanks to the WA) and what was already very hard to come by just became more difficult. The 2004 vintage has already been well documented in Spain and this wine combines many secondary and tertiary qualities that set it apart. Trying to play in the L’Ermita crowd at one-fifth the price, it is not mass-distributed and there’s basically no wine to be had (only 100 cases were made). From some of the highest altitude vineyards in Priorat, if you are into the top wines of Spain, this is a good bet to be highly collectable in the years to come: ” EXTREMELY LIMITED - only a few cases for the entire US. This parcel is directly from the source with perfect provenance: 2004 Pasanau “El Vell Coster” Priorat Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Spain9980
