Game and mineral flavors emerge through firm tannins in this austere red. The finish is clean and fresh, and cherry and licorice notes suggest it may bloom with time. Best after 2007. 200 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add

Mildly sweet and candied, with accents of rose petal, red licorice and high-quality raisin. As always, it’s an intense wine with red raspberry, cherry and plum flavors in front of finishing vanilla and butter. It’s a bit grabby and tannic, but it seems to have harnessed correct ripeness in what was a difficult, hot year.——M.S.(8/1/2007)—— 90
