Acustic "Brao" Montsant 2005

Purple/red.

Vinturi - shoe polish, hazelnut, black raspberry coulis, pepper. Tight, linear, complex.

Initial textural sweetness immediately hammered by strong acidity. But has enough mid-palate material to ride through it all. Way young..


$50. Gift from Mike Irwin. Old vine Grenache and Carignan from an area adjacent to Priorat (Spain).
