Ferrer Bobet
Vinyes Velles Priorat Garnacha Carignan
Priorat, Catalunya, Spain
Opened tight and funky-- like the bass in the Cameo hit "Word Up". After 40 min, it's mellowed and relaxed akin to "Always and Forever", or something else from Heatwave. Cinnamon, white pepper, mild anise on the nose, carrying forward to the palate. It's still tart, but probably best enjoyed now. Nice round mouthfeel, medium plus alcohol, very supple tannins. I've had this before, but this is perhaps the best thus far. Love it!!! 1 more bottle.
Ps there is even a milk chocolate note on the very back that resembles a Brunello of comparable age. I'm adding the +

Most pleasant Priorat. I wish I still had few bottles in cellar.
