This is surprisingly good. Cherry and tart-sweet black currant with hint of forrest floor and very balanced acidity and fine tannins. This was 2 hours after taking 3/4 cup for cooking. Would buy again. Fantastic QPR, it just needs time.

This was a nice surprise. Significant tannin, but tamed with food. The nose was phenomenal and the palate slightly less fruity. Great QpR. Fruit and a little meaty which was unexpected.

Opened this about two hours before dinner of grilled lamb chops accompanied by sautéed spinach with shallots and onions. Pretty straightforward Grenache, a bit young but pretty ridiculous QPR nonetheless. Interested to see what happens with this over time.

No formal notes taken. I normally wouldn't drink a Priorat this young but at $11.99 I figured why not and assumed it would made in a softer more approachable style. It is not, the tannin profile is aggressive. Nice wine and an excellent value but if CostCo has more I would rest these till at least 2023.

Nice, very smooth. Sweet Blueberries, caramel praline, Some bramble on nose. Palate is similar with medium acid. Finish is short and flavors are not complex. However for the price and youth, this is nice. Somewhat rhone-like.

Sweet dark berries, purple flowers, dark chocolate, and black rock minerality. Very juicy, expansive and lifted, powdery tannins dance across the palate, quality finish. Excellent QPR! 89-90.

Good/Fair. The label says silky tannins, long finish, and chocolate. None of that is true. It is under-ripe, acidic, thin. It is not the lush, round, fruity wine that I usually associate with priorat.

Practicing organic. Fermented in concrete. Bon is good. Mas is the country house of the family owned by the grandpa and grandma. So its where the family goes to spend the time together. And usually in this area of Spain there would be vines there as well. Fresh but not without depth or power. Youthful for sure.

Clean, soft cherry notes. Short finish. Surprisingly easy to drink considering the relatively high alcohol content.

This was an excellent every day drinker and nice value. Has a different flavor profile than I am accustomed to but we enjoyed that.

Solid, fresh, youthful, but the tannins are too sharp. Could use more balance.
