The 2007 Roquers de Porrera (the name of an important Priorat village) is composed of 80% Garnacha and Carinena with the balance Merlot and Syrah aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak. Aromas of wet stone, licorice, underbrush, black cherry and plum lead to a silky-textured, elegant yet powerful expression of Priorat. Incipiently complex, it will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age and offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2022.
