點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3760

The 2004 Genium Costers comes from particularly steep slopes and old vines. It is a blend of 50% Carinena, 25% Garnacha, 15% Merlot, and 10% Syrah aged 14 months in new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a slightly muted nose of pain grille, Asian spices, mineral, earth, leather, and black cherry. Full-bodied and firmly structured, this intensely flavored, superbly balanced wine can be cellared for several years and should drink well through 2017.

This is the type of Priorat that makes us stand up and take notice. The nose is deep and pure, with a complex dishing of toast, schist and black fruit. The palate is live-wire yet not the least bit hard; proper doses of black cherry and snappy black plum flavors are long, sinewy and natural. Drink now–2014.——M.S.(10/1/2008)—— 93
