• Dagalaifus Likes this wine: 93 points

  April 1, 2018 - This Spanish Priorat is a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cabernet and 20% Syrah. In the glass, this medium-bodied wine is darkest ruby with a nose of black cherry, tobacco and smoked meat. On the palate, the same black cherry, tobacco and smoked meat, as well as blackberry and just a hint of garrigue. It has a medium-length, mineral-driven finish and the tannins are almost integrated; accordingly, I wouldn't cellar this too long. Despite its Priorat designation, this is dead ringer for a red Bordeaux from a hot vintage. Put it in a paper bag, so your wine-loving friends can't see the label. After they've tasted it, ask them where it's from. It really punches way above its weight and is a great value at around $25 per bottle.
