Mas Romani, La Basseta, Priorat 2004

Deep, pure red.

Pure and vibrant on the nose too. Hint of shoe polish and creamy red cherry.

Really nice breadth in the mouth, atypical for Priorat, particularly one based on Carignan. A pool of red cherry jam that is very much in line with the Pegau '03, although this is not as packed. It is interesting that this is made with the "guidance" of Michel Tardieu of Tardieu-Laurent. Like Mogador, made by a French guy, this wine has a natural feel and textural "give" that is often lacking in Priorat.

50% old Carignan, 40% Grenache, 5% Merlot, 5% Syrah
