This luxury cuvee, made from old Grenache vines, aged in small French oak casks, and bottled unfiltered, is a magnificent example of what Spain can produce at the top quality level. The wine reveals an opaque purple color, a huge bouquet of spicy, smoky-scented oak, combined with lavish quantities of jammy blackcurrants and kirsch. Super-ripe, full-bodied, with layers of rich, explosively ripe, concentrated fruit, this voluptuously-textured wine will provide thrilling drinking for 10-15 years. The yields for this 1991 were 20 hectoliters per hectare, or about one and one-half tons from tightly spaced vines. Importer: Europvin USA, Watertown, MA.

An inky wine with great concentration on the palate. It's almost sweet with ripe fruit and buttressed with tannins like huge oak beams. Big and heady, it manages both power and balance. Drink now.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
