Black truffle cherry fruit with pretty floral notes and menthol notes very pretty nose. The family is 4th generation and they are a small 5 hectare estate, traditionalist ages in foudres but is using some new oak but larger nice structure and depth of flavors hints of earth and fine tannins through the finish. Finish 35+ excellent — 13 years ago

Loved the old-fashioned funk in this one: old foudres, sweat, wool and fur, wet mossy rocks, spicy minerals, mountain meadows, fresh herbs, blood orange. Elegant, full of detail, good concentration. Fantastic! — 11 years ago

100% carineña from 90 year-old vines on north-facing granite slopes. 24 months in Riesling foudres (I have visited the winery). This is such a pretty wine (Priorat's version of DRC), I wish I could afford to buy it by the the truckload! — 11 years ago

8.9

Great value in village level Beaujolais with a very typical Gamay nose of leather, smoke, and earth which also come through on the palate with a dose of added spice from a little stay in oak foudres. Old vines, delicious, restrained and all you can ask for at this price. — 12 years ago

Familia Nin-Ortiz’s 2009 Planetes de Nin is sourced from a contiguous 11 acre parcel all planted on llicorella and farmed biodynamically. The wine is made up of 70% Garnacha and 30% Cariñena aged in big foudres.
It is dark purple in color with an intriguing nose of black berries as well as mineral, lavender, and black cherry. On the palate it flows with gorgeous freshness and purity of fruit and a Juicy acidity.
