Bright ruby & purple colors together with nice aromas of black fruits, vanilla, and grilled mashroom. Full-bodied with very nice taste of ripe cherry, prune, almond, and truffle. Meaty texture & smooth tannins coupled with nice control of acidity & reasonable length on the finish. One of the best Italian wine at Bt1,000. — 9 years ago

An order of Carthusian monks first found their way to Scala Dei in 1194 at the invitation of Alfonso I. The name "Scala Dei" means "stairway to heaven," and a visit through these transportive ruins remains a critical first stop if ever visiting the region. While monks no longer work the cellars, the Scala Dei wines remain solid - and often a relative value in comparison to those who've arrived in the last half century. Prior is Scala Dei's mid-tier of their three Priorat reds. High octane flavors of licorice, pepper, black plum, violet, and blueberry find balance with spicier, more elegant tones of sandalwood, rosewater, frankincense and gingerbread. While 15% abv, you’d never know per the bright acidity and chalky tannins - yet there remains, a warming medieval intrigue that conjures romantic images of hearthstones and velvet. A nice showing from Priorat’s pioneering monastery. — 6 years ago
