Tasted blind. Med + to deep purple with a magenta rim. The nose is medium in intensity, with medicinal herbs and a floral component. The nose and palate have notes of red cherry and red currant but also some black currant. No evidence of oak. The palate is dry, with med + acidity, med tannins and high alcohol (15%). Overall med + body and med + flavor intensity but only med length. This is a good to very good wine, which is drinking well now and not likely to improve with further aging. 50% Grenache and 50% Mazuelo (Carignan). At $23, it's actually a pretty good QPR and value for a Priorat.

Priorat wine fair 2019 (and related events); 5/2/2019-5/9/2019 (Tarragona and various places in Priorat): The same could be said about this red as the preceding rosé. This was in fact quite nice. By no means earth shattering but a decent effort. Which could not be said about the last wine we tasted at this stall, Nadiu la Simó. Very generic (isn't that a redundancy?). So generic that I will not bother creating the wine on Cellar Tracker.

Very good! Apertif while cooking; definitely tasted fruit, but a spice too. Great with spiced pork apple chutney and roasted vege medley
