| 17.0 / 20 |
Region: Priorat
Country: Spain
Impressive spanish red from the Priorat, the nose is an intense mix of sweet red berries, plums and blackberries, vanilla, spices and very strong notes of chocolate. Very impressive, strong and full without being tiresome.
In the mouth, it shows itself as a full-bodied, heavy wine. Strong and structured, it has chocolate notes which are sustained by a very balanced acidity. Nice, edgy tannins give it an added complexity, but it still manages to convey a sense of elegance and subtlety which is unusual for its weight. Finish is very long, with chocolate notes playfully mingling with red berries.
