| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.9 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 29 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by OaktownRush on 1/23/2022: Nice notes of crushed rocks, meat rub, cured meat — similar to a pepperoni stick, ripe berries. Not a ton of structure going on here, but it’s pleasant and has crowd pleasing qualities without feeling cheap. (496 views) | | | Tasted by Mr Jupiter on 9/5/2021 & rated 87 points: A bit over the hill bit still lots of fruit, plum and earthy tones. Not much tannins left. (548 views) | | | Tasted by mudroprogramer on 12/21/2020 & rated 96 points: Great (675 views) | | | Tasted by BBinSC on 10/26/2020 & rated 88 points: Tasty, soft, ripe, easy drinking Priorat. Has that "classic" bug spray nose. Very pleasant if you hold your nose. (702 views) | | | Tasted by mr21cbs on 10/9/2019 & rated 89 points: Very nice! Ripe fruit and mild tannins. Medium mouthfeel. Enjoyable with dark chocolate as a dessert. (1063 views) | | | Tasted by mudroprogramer on 1/23/2019 & rated 90 points: Earth, mushrooms, caramel, light mint on the nose. Moist cellar and overripe tart cherry flavour, followed by sharp and biting astringency ending with cloves and anise notes.
Definitely has more room to age for 2 to 5 years. (1055 views) | | | Tasted by pkbowen on 12/15/2017 & rated 84 points: Decanted for about two hours. Decent amount of fine sediment in the last few mL. A fruity number, with fleshy, plummy, juicy aromas and flavors. Some mint and shale nuances, but decidedly New World in style. Lower acidity and absent tannins leave this feeling flabby. Inoffensive and quaffable.
We don't drink very much Priorat, but this doesn't seem to be typical. The wine was just "good," 84/100. (2141 views) | | | Tasted by S_Kaaria on 3/4/2017 & rated 84 points: Dark ripe fruits, some chocolate and spices (pepper). After decanting (about 1 hour) develops some raisin notes and alcohol does not push through that much. (3353 views) | | | Tasted by PhilMunroe on 2/10/2017 & rated 91 points: Very fruit forward with great extraction. Complex wine for the price and a great bargain. Loads of blue and black fruits with medium tannin. This is a great everyday drinking wine. (3187 views) | | | Tasted by geoffreychambertin on 1/13/2017 & rated 91 points: Baking spices and red fruit, with lots of body and a strong finish. (2981 views) | | | Tasted by huse on 12/27/2016 & rated 90 points: The “2014 GR-174 Vi de Gran Recorregut”, named after the long-distance hiking trail (Sender del Priorat ) that crosses the vineyard, is the entry-level wine of the estate. A blend of 35 % Garnatxa, 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Samsó (Carinyena), 13 % Syrah, 9 % Merlot and 3 % Cabernet Franc. The wine was aged for 5 months partly in barriques, partly in stainless steel tanks. Youthful dark cherry-red color with violet reflections and a good intensity on the nose, displaying ripe red fruit, cassis, sweet spices and some balsamic notes. The full-bodied palate reveals a nicely balanced wine, plenty of juicy black fruit, notes of dark chocolate and a fine refreshing acidity. Long elegant aftertaste. A well drinkable wine, perhaps a bit young but very promising. Optimal enjoyment: now – 2021.
De "2014 GR-174 Vi de Gran Recorregut", genoemd naar de wandeltrek (Sender del Priorat) die de wijngaard doorkruist, is de instapwijn van dit wijngoed. Een blend van 35 % Garnatxa, 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Samsó (Carinyena), 13 % Syrah, 9 % Merlot en 3 % Cabernet Franc. De kreeg een rijping van vijf maanden mee, deels in barriques, deels in roestvrij stalen tanks. Jeugdige, donkere, kersrode kleur met violette reflecties en een behoorlijk intens bouquet van rijp rood fruit, cassis, zachte kruiden en ook wat balsamische tonen. Een volmondige, mooi uitgebalanceerde wijn, vol sappig zwart fruit, nuances van zwarte chocolade en een fijne, verfrissende aciditeit. Lange, elegante afdronk. De wijn is nu al best genietbaar, misschien nog wat jong, maar alleszins veelbelovend. Optimaal drinkgenot: nu – 2021. (4869 views) | | | Tasted by Zipra on 5/21/2016 & rated 86 points: Blue-red color. Lots of berries nicely mixid with pepper, chocolate and herbs, big elegant scent. The Syrah of the blend is a bit dominating. Medium bodied with high acidity, too young to drink in my opinion. Many say that the high 15% alchol is balanced with the fruit but i dont agree, i think it way to protruding. I belive it has potential if aged a couple of years. (2938 views) | | | Tasted by mattym19 on 5/12/2016 & rated 90 points: Nose is very subtle with plums and white pepper, but the plate is rich and smooth with dark fruits and baking spices galore. Very nice body, well balanced, very drinkable on its own or with rich meaty food; paired excellently with braised short ribs. (1460 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 4/2/2016 & rated 88 points: Lovely rich red, very modern in style, and perhaps lacking some priorat typicity. Nonetheless a very nice wine and good qpr.

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-infoPrioratAbout 100 kilometers from Barcelona, Priorat originated as a distinct recognized wine region in 1932, and was approved in 1954.
