 The 2006 Lo Piot is made up of 90% Garnacha and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon also aged for 12 months in French oak. Similarly endowed but with greater complexity and a hint of elegance, this plush Priorat will deliver prime drinking from 2013 to 2021.

2007 Abat Domenech

91 points  

Drink: 2011-2018

 The 2007 Abat Domenech is made up of 50% Garnacha and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 12 months in French oak. An earthy minerality, licorice, chocolate, tapenade, and black cherry aromas inform this wine’s complex bouquet. Smooth-textured, plush, and succulent, this up-front Priorat is drinking well now but will continue to deliver pleasure for another 5-7 years

 2008  Cesca Vicent

90+ points

The 2008 Cesca Vicent is a blend of 40% Garnacha, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Merlot and Syrah aged for 12 months in French oak. Liquid minerals, lavender, cedar, blackberry, and black  currant aromas inform the nose of this full-bodied Priorat. Dense, layered, and rich, it makes up in power for what it lacks in complexity. It is an outstanding value that can be approached now but which will evolve for 1-2 years.
