Buil & Giné 2015 Priorato 'Pleret' [6x750]
This magnificent assemblage is based on centenary vines of Garnacha and Carignan. The admixture of “modern” French grapes serves as a piquant seasoning to its deep, Spanish tones, and the aging in French barriques lends the whole a suave and shapely form. Beautifully evolved at this stage, it promises a very long life indeed and easily justifies its price, which is relatively modest for a Priorat “trophy wine”.

Notes from the Producer: Deep ruby colour, high depth. Rich aromatic expression, with spiced plum, ripe blackcurrant, black cherry, raisin and damson fruits backed up by delicate scents of violets, menthol, cassis, Elegant and very complex palate. Silky mouth feel, with dark fruit flavours (blackcurrant, figs), black cherry syrup and an undertone of dusty soils, pipe tobacco and bright red fruits with orange rind accents. A full-bodied wine with incredible length and intensity to enjoy with time.
