From Montsant DO, the larger region that surrounds Priorat. 100% Grenache (or Garnatxa) - 15% ABV. This has the classic Priorat nose of iodine and Blueberries, same on the palate - really very good and drinking perfectly today. I imagine this will last a few more years, given its structure. It has a fresh grippy attack of acidity and tannin, which perfectly balances the gorgeous sweet ripe fruit. Plums bluberries, Iodine and saline notes, with a hint of raspberries. Good depth, long finish. Great wine.

4th btl from small case. Young looking ruby color. Lean and focused despite high alcohol level. Long finish on dark red berries, ethereal. Great showing.

Seems to come back alive now, after a disappointing bottle earlier. Big wine, needs a decant, light youthful colour, somewhat loose-knit nose which I would explain with it's high alcool level, but intense and complex flavors, delicious red fruits, persistent finish. An unresistable Cru!
