Priorat, Catalunya, Spain
Turning a shitty day around with this gorgeous Priorat. Old-vine, amphora ferment/aged, portion WC, native yeast and min SO2. Weighty depth of ripe red and black cherries, roasted plums, clove, animal, MINERALS, smoke, rubber, violets, chaparral. Textural grit, loving the freshness the Carignan brings to the table, picking up where the grenache left its deep fruit and herbs, carrying the richness through the finish.
