The 2014 Mas Mallola is mostly Garnacha with 35% Cari?ena from a vineyard in Porrera that names the wine and was planted some 18 years ago. It fermented in a mixture of cement, oak and stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts. The wine matured in French barriques for 14-15 months. The nose is mostly about sweet spices and smoke, with a lactic hint. The palate is dominated by tannins that leave an astringent sensation. Better with powerful food. There are 10,000 bottles produced.

This supple red is bright and juicy, with cherry, berry and vanilla flavors mingling with notes of mountain herb and mineral. Energetic and graceful. Drink now through 2020. 833 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add

They sent me an older wine than the previous time, so I tasted the 2013 Mas Mallola (I've already tasted the 2014). It seems like the oak was stronger in the past, and the wine shows a lot of spicy and smoky aromas and especially tannins and wood flavors, while the fruit has moderate ripeness and the wine keeps good acidity. 10,000 bottles were filled in April 2015. It's evolving nicely in bottle, maybe the oak will get better integrated with a little more time.

Light, firm and energetic, this red delivers lively flavors of black cherry, licorice, tobacco, mountain herb and smoke that mingle over light, firm tannins. Kept fresh by juicy acidity, this is focused and graceful. Drink now through 2021. 1,550 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
