Country: Spain / Clos Figueres
Variety: Red Blend Catalonia
Winery: Clos Figueras / Priorat
Baked, earthy, minerally berry fruit aromas suggest lead pencil, roasted plum, cassis and raspberry. The palate is lush, pure and balanced, with classic Priorat flavors of mineral-tinged blackberry and plum. Chunky and smooth on the finish, with broad, soft tannins. There’s no bite or harshness at all; drink now through 2014.
