Red Wine /// Garnacha // Priorat / Spain
Opaque ruby. Cherry liqueur, cassis and candied licorice aromas are energized and sharpened by a smoky mineral note and a sexy floral nuance that builds steadily with air. Offers sappy, deeply concentrated dark fruit preserve, star anise, vanilla and violet pastille flavors that show excellent clarity and back-end mineral cut. Chewy, late-arriving tannins support a long, appealingly sweet finish that strongly echoes the dark berry and floral notes. (raised for 18 months in new and used French oak barrels) 93 POINTS, ROBERT PARKER
