Nice notes of crushed rocks, meat rub, cured meat — similar to a pepperoni stick, ripe berries. Not a ton of structure going on here, but it’s pleasant and has crowd pleasing qualities without feeling cheap.

Earth, mushrooms, caramel, light mint on the nose. Moist cellar and overripe tart cherry flavour, followed by sharp and biting astringency ending with cloves and anise notes.
Definitely has more room to age for 2 to 5 years.

Decanted for about two hours. Decent amount of fine sediment in the last few mL. A fruity number, with fleshy, plummy, juicy aromas and flavors. Some mint and shale nuances, but decidedly New World in style. Lower acidity and absent tannins leave this feeling flabby. Inoffensive and quaffable.
We don't drink very much Priorat, but this doesn't seem to be typical. The wine was just "good," 84/100.

Dark ripe fruits, some chocolate and spices (pepper). After decanting (about 1 hour) develops some raisin notes and alcohol does not push through that much.

Very fruit forward with great extraction. Complex wine for the price and a great bargain. Loads of blue and black fruits with medium tannin. This is a great everyday drinking wine.

The “2014 GR-174 Vi de Gran Recorregut”, named after the long-distance hiking trail (Sender del Priorat ) that crosses the vineyard, is the entry-level wine of the estate. A blend of 35 % Garnatxa, 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Samsó (Carinyena), 13 % Syrah, 9 % Merlot and 3 % Cabernet Franc. The wine was aged for 5 months partly in barriques, partly in stainless steel tanks. Youthful dark cherry-red color with violet reflections and a good intensity on the nose, displaying ripe red fruit, cassis, sweet spices and some balsamic notes. The full-bodied palate reveals a nicely balanced wine, plenty of juicy black fruit, notes of dark chocolate and a fine refreshing acidity. Long elegant aftertaste. A well drinkable wine, perhaps a bit young but very promising. Optimal enjoyment: now – 2021.
De "2014 GR-174 Vi de Gran Recorregut", genoemd naar de wandeltrek (Sender del Priorat) die de wijngaard doorkruist, is de instapwijn van dit wijngoed. Een blend van 35 % Garnatxa, 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Samsó (Carinyena), 13 % Syrah, 9 % Merlot en 3 % Cabernet Franc. De kreeg een rijping van vijf maanden mee, deels in barriques, deels in roestvrij stalen tanks. Jeugdige, donkere, kersrode kleur met violette reflecties en een behoorlijk intens bouquet van rijp rood fruit, cassis, zachte kruiden en ook wat balsamische tonen. Een volmondige, mooi uitgebalanceerde wijn, vol sappig zwart fruit, nuances van zwarte chocolade en een fijne, verfrissende aciditeit. Lange, elegante afdronk. De wijn is nu al best genietbaar, misschien nog wat jong, maar alleszins veelbelovend. Optimaal drinkgenot: nu – 2021.

Blue-red color. Lots of berries nicely mixid with pepper, chocolate and herbs, big elegant scent. The Syrah of the blend is a bit dominating. Medium bodied with high acidity, too young to drink in my opinion. Many say that the high 15% alchol is balanced with the fruit but i dont agree, i think it way to protruding. I belive it has potential if aged a couple of years.

Nose is very subtle with plums and white pepper, but the plate is rich and smooth with dark fruits and baking spices galore. Very nice body, well balanced, very drinkable on its own or with rich meaty food; paired excellently with braised short ribs.

Tasty, soft, ripe, easy drinking Priorat. Has that "classic" bug spray nose. Very pleasant if you hold your nose.

Very nice! Ripe fruit and mild tannins. Medium mouthfeel. Enjoyable with dark chocolate as a dessert.

Lovely rich red, very modern in style, and perhaps lacking some priorat typicity. Nonetheless a very nice wine and good qpr.
