Roureda Llicorella 2005 Priorat, Cellers Unio
The wines of Priorat in Norteastern Spain are a reflection of the rugged terrain in combination with the old vines found there. The vines struggle and the the grapes are small and packed with intense flavor and dimension. This wine is a blend of 40% Garnacha, 40% Mazuelo and 20% Syrah. The grapes are barrel aged separately for the right balance of oak and flavor. This 2005 has had a nice opportunity for the tannins to mature and soften, making it silky and lush. Wine Spectator scored this ripe red 91 points saying "This red is light and crisp, yet has plenty of structure to power its raspberry, licorice and mountain herb flavors. Focused and lively, with a floral, spicy finish. Drink now through 2013."

    Comments about Roureda Llicorella 2005 Priorat, Cellers Unio:

    This is just an enjoyable wine from start to finish. The black raspberry and cherry is concentrated but not overpowering. But it's the mint, licorice and herbal spices that make this wine super complex. It's not a huge wine but has a solid backbone and a lovely finish. At this price, one of the best Priorat values on the market.

    • Pairs Well With:
    • Beef, Game

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Roureda Llicorella 2005 Priorat, Cellers Unio:

      If you want to try something truly unique and complex, you need to experience the wines of Priorat. This one shows notes of raspberry and vanilla with mouthwatering acidity. It is big and bold but its balance and old world style make it a great food match.

      • Pairs Well With:
      • Beef

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
