Planted in pure slate at an altitude of 900 meters, this vineyard has produced an impressive blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Carignan, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged in 100% French oak, it exhibits a vivid, well-defined bouquet of blueberries, black currants, minerals, and background sweet oak. Full-bodied yet elegant, with admirable purity, a multilayered texture, and sweet tannin, this is a fairly priced beauty from the highly fashionable appellation of Priorat. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016.
