John Szabo, MS

Rich and ripe in the style of neighboring Priorat, with baked fruit flavours, red and black, and thick, highly extracted palate - wow, there's a lot of wine here for the money - this will impress widely. Alcohol is high at 14.5% declared (likely more), giving this a full-bodied, rich palate, mouth coating. Length is very good. You could easily pay three or four times this for equivalents from other marquee appellations. Top value. Tasted October 2019. Value Rating: ***

Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A delicious non traditional blend of Garnacha, Carinena, Syrah and Merlot with 9 months of oaking in French and American 300l barrels. It has pure linear fruit, fresh red berries with some leather and spice. The use of oak is noticeable on the palate which is attractive and judicious. Try with rack of lamb with moussaka. @wrightwineblog

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Red licorice and red fruit on the nose. The palate is fruity and smooth. Full bodied with very fine tannins and a decent finish. This wine will appeal to a broad audience. Clean, fruity, substantial with no rough edges. Excellent value. Serve with lamb, duck or grilled vegetables. Tasted October 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
