The 2007 Corelium is from a 4 acre single vineyard with vines ranging from 70-100 years. The blend is 90% Carignan and 10% Grenache with the wine raised in new 300-liter French oak for 16 months. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it gives up an aromatic array of liquid mineral, bitter chocolate, lilac, black plum, and blueberry. On the palate it displays elevated acidity in an intellectual style for Priorat. It has significant tannin that will require 6-8 years of additional cellaring. It should offer prime drinking from 2017 to 2027. Terra de Verema is a boutique-sized Priorat estate sourcing from vineyards in the villages of Scala Dei and El Lloar. The winemaker here is Esther Nin, the vineyard manager for Clos Erasmus. Importer: Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565

An altogether different animal, the 2006 Corelium is sourced from a single vineyard in the village of El Lloar with vines ranging in age from 70 to 100 years. A blend of 90% Carinena and 10% Garnacha, the wine spent 16 months in new 300 liter French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up exotic aromas of cinnamon, anise, sandalwood, slate, underbrush, and black cherry. Complex and sexy on the palate, this large-scaled effort will evolve for 5-7 years and offer prime drinking from 2015 to 2030. Terre de Verema is a new Priorat project with Ester Nin in charge of winemaking. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565

A glass-coating purple-hue, the nose exhibits wood smoke, slate, spice box, floral notes, wild blueberry, and black cherry. Dense and rich with a liquid minerality on the palate, this plush, lengthy wine will unfurl with another 4-6 years in the cellar and drink well through 2025.
