Dried cherry, hazelnut, menthol and baking spices mingle in this late-harvest red, which is firm, with good acidity, and a bit lean, but fresh. Drink now. 96 cases made, 23 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add

Intriguing but expensive sweet wine, with leather and dried cheese aromas as well as dusty, rubbery black fruits and licorice. It’s not that unusual or exciting in terms of mouthfeel, but the flavors of cassis liqueur, stewed cherry and black licorice are tight and powerful. Structured to last another decade, with meaty tannins and molasses on the finish. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 90
