NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied red wine from the Priorat region of Spain is a powerful, concentrated example of the local terroir.It has a nose of dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and aged in oak, with notes of tobacco, leather, and roasted coffee. On the finish, there is an intense, lingering richness that lingers on the palate. A complex and intense wine that is well worth the effort.
