This wine is considered to be one of the jewels in Priorat’s crown and is a classic expression of the appellation. Its ruby red colour is beautifully intense, and its vibrant nose revolves around aromas of dark fruits (prune, blueberry, gooseberry) and spice, with empyreumatic notes. The palate is deep, dense and fruity, with nicely blended tannins.

Peak: Drink until 2030

What the experts say...

"Asian spices, tapenade, incense, licorice, espresso, and blackberry aromas inform the nose of this structured, dense plush, powerful yet elegant offering. It is beautifully proportioned with exceptional length and incipient complexity. " R. Parker (05/2011)
