Initial taste was sour but that passed after a few minutes to reveal a solid core of deep red & black fruit, old vine structure and terroir. Tastes like black cherry, blackberry, licorice and anise. This wine is not meant to age beyond 5 years, but it provides fruity exuberance for near-term pleasure.

Accessed from a Coravin. Most definitely improves with some air. Dried cherries, hint of vanilla at the end, short finish. I am not a big Priorat drinker but this would be a fairly mellow version to my experience, which I find more pleasant and approachable. Mouthfilling and a very good value. Doubt that it would cellar much and doesn’t need to.

50-80yr old vines. 43 Grenache 21 Syrah 18 Carignan/Samso 18 Cab Sauvz. Oldest Cab in Priorat at Clos Berenguer. Dark berry fruit on polished aromas. More textured palate med tannin. Nice fresh balance, not too oaky, doesn’t have the vanilla of American oak at all. Planted on Licorella.
