The 2008 Genium Fresc is 80% Garnacha and 20% Carinena sourced from younger vines with 3 months of aging in seasoned French oak. Medium crimson-colored, it displays aromas of cedar, tobacco, mineral, spice box, black cherry, and plum. Silky-textured with excellent concentration and grip, this savory, flavorful offering is nicely balanced and long in the finish. It is a fine example of Priorat that will not break the piggy bank.
