| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by chatters on 8/1/2023: 3 Winos and a Providore Trade tasting (The four seasons hotel, the rocks, sydney): This has a bit of a Musar nose; rocky minerality, a little volatility, wild ferment, funky, baked red and black fruit but without the Brett or oxidation. In the mouth it's much of a muchness to the nose, chewy, tight, tough tannins, baked fruit. Woof. I'd have to be in the right mood to play with this... (2014 views) | | | Tasted by Larre on 6/17/2023 & rated 94 points: Well-made wine, dark fruit, integrated oak, great symmetry and balance. Lacks a bit of personality at this stage, but will most like evolve and gain complexity over the next 10–15 years. 94+ (1775 views) | | | Tasted by Romz on 4/18/2022 & rated 92 points: 18042022 - blind tasting dinner at 33 Blue Room. This is intense but still at its infancy. Deep garnet with purplish hint with bright red- purple edges. Intense nose filled with dark fruit, plum, licorice, oak & bell peppers. Further ox brought out the vanilla and violet notes. Initially linear on the palate, the ox coaxed the initially firm tannins into much refined tannins with juicy textures of plum & licorice. Such an interesting Priorat & definitely plenty of potential if cellared further (3459 views) | | | Tasted by Timjantrad on 10/31/2021 & rated 95 points: 95 points from Decanter Spain guide 2021 (4082 views) | | | Tasted by Miccog on 8/28/2021 & rated 95 points: A Spaniard with tons of style and elegance. Big, generous, complex, delicious, awesome. Simply a fantastic wine from a different, slightly more sophisticated vintage. Crazy good already, but this wine will probably become insanely good if cellared until 2030 (or even longer).
Note: Vintage 2018 cuvée 45% Garnacha, 29% Cariñena, 16% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. (2412 views) |

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.
