Formiga de Vellut (Organic) 2008

Priorato, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainAll hail Priorat and this spicy, floral, curry, black peppery, liquorice scented red. Love the dry, supple palate and its smoky, peppery, black cherry jam and meaty, licorice and cedar flavours. Good intensity and balance throughout despite a bit of heat on the finish. Fine effort for current drinking with lamb stew. Solid value and best of all the grapes are grown organically.Tasted: 23 October 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
