Mas Doix "Salanques" 2003 Priorat (Spain)

Bright red.

Nose tells you this is (probably) Garnacha-based - spicy red cherry/raspberry, earth, cinnamon and a lifted mint note.
Pure and nuanced.

Garnacha sweetness in the mouth too, at least initially. Loads of red fruit/liqueur before acid-driven structure rolls in like a wave. Tannin hits late. Amazingly, red fruit character survives and continues into the long, subtle finish.


Mas Doix' 2nd wine.
