6 Priorat wines from Decanter panel tasting - Part I

Elegant floral nose. The palate is really lively with an attractive spicy note permeating the dense black fruit. Tasty, long mocha and liquorice finish.

Smoky oak on the nose presages a spicy tobacco overtone on the palate. There's a powerful overlay of expressive silky blueberry and rich dried fig with a striking backbone of acidity keeping everything in check. Big, bold, classic Priorat.

Pure cassis nose with a delicate floral lift. Impressive on the palate. Vivid and powerful with great depth of fruit and an underlying tarry, liquorice tone kept fresh by a lively jab of acidity. Long dense finish. Will keep.

Lovely garrigue nose, with some florality. A silky, supple wine with a lively freshness. At its right time now, with very fine purity of fruit. Very well integrated, very well handled.
