Monday, June 15, 2009 - A surprisingly elegant wine with good balance--ripe but no hint of the overripe or jammy fruit flavors common in Priorat, good structure and even relatively high acidity. The spicy character and sweet tannin give this away as Priorat, but otherwise this drinks like a particularly fruit-forward St. Julien. In addition to blackcurrant and cassis, hints of coffee, some christmas spice, and the vaguest of raisin which, combined with the spice, gives a hint of Amarone/Port-like quality to the flavor profile.
