Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #128, September/October 2006)
(Clos Figueres Priorat) ($75) Deep ruby. Ripe, concentrated aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, boysenberry, tobacco, fresh rose, iron and sexy oak spices. Deep and lush, with striking sweetness and big but finely buffed tannins framing the sweet dark berry, mocha and floral pastille flavors. Gentle acids provide energy and precision, giving elegance to this powerful, tangy wine. Finishes youthfully taut. (Europvin USA, Oakland, CA) 92 points |
