Ughhhh.... Whatta wine! Oily, dense, powerful and live blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and indigenous Krasnostop (not Cabernet Franc as stated on Delectable!), maturated in oak barrels.
Garment of saturated blood-red colour.
Nose is opulent of black cherries,  prunes, chocolate and black currant 
Palate is silky, round and well-balanced, with hints of lingonberry, red currant, blackthorn. Latter defines finely tart finish, with flash of acidity, slowly fading. Fantastic! I sipped down the bottle with homemade lasagna bolognese and still want some more!;) — 9 years ago

UN-BE-LI-E-VA-BLE! 
Bold, thick, complex, brutal - Renaissance could be easily recognized as Priorat wine on blind testing!
Opaque dark cherry red to almost black garnet. Complex bouquet of dark cherry, mulberry, huckleberry, cappuccino, black pepper, prunes... Lingonberry, black currant leaf, dried tomatoes, blackthorn dominate the palate. Blackthorn tartness slowly vanish on very long lingering pleasantly acidic finish. 
Was great with mutton roulette, stuffed with pear, vegs and minced lamb! Fantastic discovery! — 9 years ago
