Cellar Pasanau Ceps Nous Priorat 2003
Red Wine
from Priorat, Spain
winemaker's notes:
44% Garnacha, 30% Merlot, 20% Mazuelo and 6% Syrah from Pasanau's youngest vines in La Morera. Aged in third- and fourth-year American and French oak from three to six months according to variety. Impressively concentrated, round and elegant.
"Dark red. Superripe aromas of dark berries, smoked meat, licorice, graphite, rose oil and nutty oak. Sweet, lush and pliant, with seamless flavors of currant and dark cherry. Quite approachable, even a bit evolved in the style of the year, but without being oxidative. Finishes minerally and impressively long, with lush tannins."
