  Deep purple. Classic Rhone blend with a touch of Cab Sauvignon. Opaque. Nose of dark fruit and tar. No secondary tones yet. In the palate more blackberry and dark cherry. Clearly high alcohol with a almost stewed fruit component. Surprisingly soft tannins and nice minerality. Good value for the quality.

  The entry-level wine of the estate (located in the municipality of Gratallops, about 40 kilometers west of the city of Tarragona) with a varietal composition of 51 % Garnatxa Negra, 31 % Samsó (Carinyena), 12 % Syrah and 6 % Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for seven months in 300 and 500 liter French oak barrels (second use). An excellent wine, balanced for early drinking appeal. Deep black-red in color with purple hues and an inviting nose with scents of red and black berry fruit, violets, licorice, Mediterranean herbs and a slight touch of vanilla. The gorgeous and elegant palate has very good correspondence to the nose revealing abundant dark forest and gooseberry fruit, a round mouth feel, a fresh acidity and quite smooth tannins. Long fruity aftertaste. The wine is deliciously drinkable now but also offers a good mid-term aging potential. An excellent value for money.
  
  De instapwijn van het wijngoed (gelegen in het dorpje Gratallops, ongeveer 40 kilometer ten westen van Tarragona) met een samenstelling van 51 % Garnatxa Negra, 31 % Samsó (Carinyena), 12 % Syrah en 6 % Cabernet Sauvignon ; de wijn rijpte zeven maanden in Franse eiken vaten 300 en 500 liter (tweede gebruik). Een uitstekende wijn, die al jong gedronken kan worden. Diep zwartrood van kleur met paarse tinten aan de rand van het glas en een verleidelijk bouquet met aroma’s van rood en zwart bessenfruit, viooltjes, zoethout, mediterrane kruiden en een vleugje vanille. Het weelderige en elegante smaakpatroon ligt in het verlengde van de neus met overvloedig stekelbes- en zwart bosfruit, een zachte mondvulling, een verfrissende aciditeitsstructuur en al vrij goed versmolten tannines. Lange, fruitige afdronk. De wijn is nu al heerlijk drinkbaar, maar zal zich ook nog een paar jaartjes verder ontwikkelen. Heel veel wijn voor uw geld.

  Priorat wine fair 2019 (and related events); 5/2/2019-5/9/2019 (Tarragona and various places in Priorat): Should have started with this one at the Figueras stall. Not in the same league as the Font de la Figuera and the Clos Figueres. Coming after Clos Figueres made it look a bit simple and watery. This is not a bad wine at all, though. Around 86-88.
