April 6, 2024 - From the producer:
"This 62% Carinyena & 38% Garnacha comes from 6 hectares planted in 2007, cool climate, north orientation, elevation between 500 and 650m. Malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak casks. This wine has been bottled without filtration. Grapes from the Clos d'en Ferran plot. The wine is aged for a total of 15 months in new French oak."
2h decant felt too short, liked it better on day 2. Delicate but elegant palate with dark wild berries, silky tannins, warm stones, light cinnamon, and vanilla (too much of it in the beginning). Excellent Priorat (for 24€ on sale).
Decanter rated 97p, Penin 94p, which seems realistic-ambitious given the potential at this young age of the wine.1 person found this helpful Comment
