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.

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