Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #134, September/October 2007)
(Clos Figueres Priorat) ($79) Youthfully inky ruby. Powerfully aromatic, complex bouquet of red berries, cherry pit, anise, black pepper and clove. The deep cherry and cassis flavors are complemented by vanilla, baking spices and candied licorice. This boasts impressive energy, finishing with firm but integrated tannins and excellent sappy persistence. (Europvin USA, Oakland, CA) 91 points |
