The first couple of passes are not that encouraging: there’s strawberry Kool-Aid and sharp field-like aromas of thistle and bramble. But the palate is not bad at all; it is flush yet racy, with solid raspberry and plum flavors that carry onto the finish. Not a refined wine but a natural one.

This is small-production, old-vines Cariñena with the full allotment of French oak aging. It is a little syrupy on the nose, but its schisty blackberry and licorice aromas and flavors give it a Priorat quality. What’s holding it back is jumpy acidity that brings the mouthfeel down a notch or two. Best with food.

Rooty on the nose, with green herb, tea and raspberry aromas. Patience and airing only brings it to the acceptable level, which means the wine’s reasonably good prune and dark-fruit flavors are scuttled by a disjointed, overly acidic mouthfeel.
