點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2921

The 2009 Blanco is a blend of 50% Garnacha Blanc from vines over 80 years of age, Xarel-lo, and Piquepoul aged for 6 months in French and American oak. Gold in color with a very perfumed nose of mineral, popcorn, baking spices, and melon, on the palate it is creamy-textured, rich, spicy, and very lengthy. This impeccably balanced white is likely to evolve for 2-3 years and drink well for a decade. Mas d’En Compte’s Blanco is a rare white wine from the village of Porrera (less than 2% of Priorat’s production is white).Importer: Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565

The 2007 Mas d’En Compte Blanco is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Xarel-lo, and Picpoul aged for six months in new French and American oak. Medium gold-colored, it offers aromas of acacia, honey, bees wax, and pineapple. Elegant on the palate with a complex fruit cocktail of flavors, it is in need of more mid-palate concentration. Drink it over the next three years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
