Mas d'en Compte, White Priorat 2005

Deep yellow/gold. This will freak a few people out.

Thick nose - bananas Foster, exotic oils and a hint of pepper. Peach later.

Really viscous in the mouth, low-toned and dense. Reminds me of N. Rhone whites (Marsanne, Roussanne, not Viognier). Peach dominates in the mouth, a custard character too. Brighter on the finish, as dormant acid/phenolic chew kicks in.

$30
