The 2005 Montgarnatx, a blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Carinena aged for 10 months in seasoned French barriques. Deep crimson-colored, it displays a bouquet of wet stone, graphite, black cherry, plum, and incense. Full-bodied on the palate but with a sense of elegance, this intense, lengthy effort will continue to unwind for another 2-3 years and provide prime drinking from 2012 to 2020. In 1996 Francesc Sanchez Bas built his winery in the Priorat village of La Vilella Alta and began producing his own wines from estate vineyards.Importer: Winebow Inc., New York, NY; www.winebow.com

Classic Priorato aromatics of raspberry, cherry, schisty mineral and smoke are welcoming. Elegant and firm in the mouth, with drying tannins and staunch red fruit flavors of cherry and tomato blended with wild herbs and reeds. Earthy and dry on the finish, and not overpowering or overripe. ——M.S.(10/1/2011)—— 91

Expressive flavors of kirsch, chocolate, licorice and mountain herbs are balanced and focused in this well-crafted red. Has plenty of concentration, but stays graceful through the long finish. Drink now through 2014.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add

The 2004 Montgarnatx is a blend of 75% Garnacha and 25% Carignan from relatively young vines planted in a challenging terroir yielding less than a ton of fruit per acre. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and aged for 8 months in used French oak. Dark ruby/purple in color, the wine gives off lovely aromas of cedar, cinnamon, kirsch, blueberry, and licorice. This is followed by a full-bodied wine with ripe, plummy, balsamic and blue fruit flavors of superb intensity, lots of depth, and a long, pure finish. Cellar this tasty wine for 2-3 years and enjoy it for a decade thereafter. Like most of the stars in Priorat, Francesc Sanchez Bas, an agricultural engineer, only started his estate as recently as 1996. All the grapes come from vineyards owned by Bas and are made by Roser Amoros.Importer: Winebow Inc., Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
