Chalky, clear and pretty oily. A tint of citrus. Don’t drink it too cold or you will loose some subtil taste.

First let me preface, I have no experience with Xarello. Reading the description for this grape online, I do not find this wine at all austere, except for perhaps the very first few minutes upon opening.

Purchased on a whim – while perusing JJB I noticed a single bottle and was intrigued. The recommendation in the brochure that came with the wine is to let it set a short while to unfold and it was certainly enjoyable to do so.

On the nose, it reminds me of a German Riesling, and it has a hint of wet stones.

Initial impression on tasting was “a white wine that just happens to have bubbles” (yeah, not very descriptive.) There is citrus – perhaps lime, and over a short time, some very nice mineral notes emerge. Early on I noticed a brief bitterness, in a pleasant way, but it went away within a short time. While it is an acidic wine, it is very nicely balanced. I could imagine this wine going very well with seafood or creamed based sauces. I tried it with a bit of Colston Bassett Silton cheese, and while it wasn’t the best pairing it brought out a softer and very enjoyable aspect to the wine.

I’m happy to have had the chance to try this!

Still going strong. Dark fruit with coffee notes. Savory. Fine tannins. No rush to drink remaining bottles.

2019 Mas Martinet Priorat Martinet Bru

Red Blend more

4/25/2024 - sid_loves_wine Likes this wine: 91 points

I enjoyed this in the end for sure, but it was a little difficult to figure out; a strange combo of uncontrolled wildness, rusticity, and hints of beauty that seemed to constantly compete for attention. The nose was so funky/barnyard on opening that I thought it could be flawed; I don't mind funky wine at all as long as it's a part of a larger experience. Thankfully, it slowly blew off (not entirely) to reveal some good fruit and spice; very leathery black plum, figs, that sort of thing, with the salty, funky accent remaining as a shrill topnote that never fully meshed with the deeper, lower fruit. The texture was really nice, some good weight without coarseness- but the acidity was also in a weird spot, almost artificially bright and fruity to the point that my wife dismissed it quickly as cough syrup (I liked it much more than her, but there's no denying the harshness in the finish.) I might have had an off bottle, but I don't think so? I may try another to be sure; or just jump to their flagship someday, since I've yet to try a "higher-end" Priorat and feel like I should.

Orange wine, bottled without SO2, 12% vol.

Orange wine, bottled without SO2, 12% vol. PnP. PnP. On the nose intense flavour of passion fruit, nothing else, quite amazing (one of the very rare moments when all at the table agreed on the same). On the palate clean, very dry and mineral with a nice bitter note but without much depth, perhaps it is just much too young would be interesting to try this again in a couple of years.

2018 Mas Doix Priorat Doix

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/25/2024 - Jason Wu Likes this wine: 93 points

Red plum, red currant, orange peel, great intensity but not overly done. Awesomely balanced with lifted acidity and red fruit intensity. Lingering finish with a touch of oak sweetness at the end, perfectly integrated. Still quite youthful and muted especially on the palate. Need time to shine.

Wet leaves, dirt, red plum, mushroom, medicinal, black tea. Fully developed on the nose, but the fruit is still present on the palate supported with spicy and red fruits. Delicious to drink now!

Pale ruby, was a bit surprised when I poured. Fantastic Grenache. Light/ethereal but somehow syrupy at the same time. Perfumed strawberries. Priorat minerality. The alcohol at 14.5 is not too much here.

2020 Can Sumoi Sumoll Garnatxa

4/21/2024 - caspernick wrote: 86 points

Deep purple colored with low viscosity (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of game, black plum, black raspberry, violets and some garigue. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a medium (-) body and medium tannins. Flavors of game, black cherry, black raspberry and black plum with some floral highlights. The finish is light and medium in length, not overly complex or tantalizing. This wine is a bit one dimensional and I can feel some alcohol yet it only rings in at a modest 12.5%. It runs $23 and gets 86 points from me making it a 2 star effort to drink by 2025. I am pairing mine with a smoked Beef shank.

April BYO (Bodø, Norway): The wine is light watery clear. On the nose, the wine has slender citrus, some ripe fruits, wax, melted plastic, and hints of licorice. On the palate, it has light citrus. Lemon water. The wine is fresh and has something tropical and mineral. The wine is fresh and lively. Blindly I thought this wine was from Chablis. I was surprised when I found out that it was a Spanish white wine made from a grape otherwise best known from Cava.
