  Not that there’s even one one bottle left in a CT cellar or that one person will see this (or care) but this wine is now stunning! It was lost in a random wine case after a residence move in 2012 and just now uncovered. I thought it would be brick colored swill. Wow! Tannins that are smoother than glass, hint of musty nose, a slight fruit sweetness, and the mouthfeel of premium root beer. Lucky day! It’s a testimony to the Priorat region!

  13,5/20 * * * SAQ: 22$
  VISUEL: grenat orangé
  OLFACTIF: gouté à l'aveugle : peu olfactif. Fruité discret.
  GUSTATIF: légèrement boisé. Belle texture, velouté. Les tanins sont gouleyants. Bonne acidité et équilivre entre le fruit et le bois
  ENSEMBLE: Correct mais c'est dans l'ensemble un Priorat assez plat sans trop d'aspérité. On peut faire mieux pour 22 ?

  Greek Night-OPA! (Portland, Oregon): No formal notes taken with dinner, but left overs were sampled on day 2:
  A blend of 60% Carinena, 30% Garnacha, with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
  
  Aromas of spiced glacier cherries (Mr. VinL's term), toast and sweet red fruit. Simple, yet pleasant with blackberry pie filling, sweet oak, coffee and aniseed flavors. Healthy tannins which leave the hind palate a bit dry following a touch of smoothness on the mid-palate.

  Recommendation from McCarthy & aSchiering...had in the cellar for two years and was pleasantly surprised. Dark red in color. Earthy nose. Well balanced with an medium finish. Nice acidity. A fun wine to drink.

  Better bottle than previous. More dark crushed fruit apparent. Some chewiness - paired well with pasta and sausages
