Made primarily from Carignan and Grenache from old vines, it features notes of black fruit, spices, licorice, and mineral nuances, accompanied by a powerful structure and a long finish. Its international acclaim and the presentation of twelve bottles in their two original wooden cases further enhance the appeal of this set for collectors of fine Priorat wines.
