2011 Celler Mas Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles

52% Cariñena, 48% Garnacha. Well-regarded family-owned winery. 15 months’ ageing in French oak, production limited to 5,800 bottles. This is a very intense wine, concentrated, ripe, full in body but very well driven through the palate. Muscular but still fresh, with very ripe black-fruit impact on the palate. Unequivocally low-yielding Priorat, some mature notes are starting to loom. (FC)
