February 4, 2017 - WSET Diploma Unit 3 - Rhone and Spain (SF): $20
14.5%
80% Garnacha, 20% Cariñena
(non-blind)
Deep ruby - darker than the other two with a hint of purple (carignane?).
Medium plus intensity aromatics
- ripe strawberry jam
- black cherry jam
- dried blueberry
- hint of vanilla spice (oak)
- bruised starfruit (development)
Dry, full-bodied, high alcohol (14.5%), medium plus acidity, medium plus tannins (a bit coarse).
Pronounced flavor intensity.
Persistent finish.
This is a good Priorato DOCa - it shows intense primary fruit - both red and black - as well as a balanced richness on the palate. It does not have the well-integrated oak and tertiary complexity of the best Priorats.
20 day maceration
20 months in French and American oak (don't know the percentage new)1 person found this helpful Comment -
