Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 8, 2014 - Priorat, Montsant and Rioja; 9/5/2014-9/18/2014: 50/50 Grenache/Carignan from 100 year-old vines. Darkest red. Black cherry/ blackcurrant aroma with a whiff of expensive oak. Very sweet and full-bodied, the texture reminds me of a superb Australian Shiraz. Remarkably linear from entry to finish: Smooth, sweet, full-bodied, strong and ripe, with intense, fresh, counterbalancing acidity. The texture develops in the mouth from initial rich velvet to smoothest silky ripe tannins at the close. Still too sweet for my palate, this will surely improve for 5-10 years and keep for decades. 50 EUR at cellar door. 92P
