A beautiful red with rather flamboyant fruit, showing crushed berries, flowers and some chocolate and walnut undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered. Creamy texture. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Paixar is the one wine from the portfolio that is completely different from the others and comes from high-altitude vineyards in the zone of Dragonte on slate soils. In 2020 and 2021 they used the whole field...

94+ They consider 2020 Safrà the more balanced vintage to date, with the help of the Arcos structure, which makes it longer and more complex. It's 70% Mandó and 30% Arcos that fermented in stainless steel vats with 30%...

Dark, bright-rimmed violet. Dark berries, cherry pit and licorice on the pungent nose, along with an emerging floral nuance. Broad and fleshy, showing very good depth and a hint of smokiness to bitter cherry and cassis...

The 2018 Vino de Finca is a blend of Monastrell with 25% Garnacha from a cooler, more continental vintage. The Monastrell is from 20- to 30-year-old vines, and the 8-year-old Garnacha is from limestone-rich soils. It...

From 2019 the Planetes de Nin has added "Clàssic" to the name, so it's the 2019 Planetes de Nin Clàssic, because for Ester Nin, the classical Priorat is Garnacha, Garnacha Peluda, Cariñena and using stems, like a small...

The 2018 Valbuena comes from a cooler vintage with good yields that required sorting and selecting in search of a happy and vertical version of Valbuena, pushing a little more and giving the wine a little more oak...

Milk chocolate, butterscotch and black cherry dominate the nose on this deep-violet-colored wine. Rich flavors of black plum, black cherry, chocolate-covered espresso bean and lavender are nestled into a framework of...

The 2021 4 Kilos is beautiful, perfumed, elegant, nuanced and subtle with floral notes, Mediterranean herbs, red berries and a spicy twist. It's expressive, open and fine-boned, with a moderate 12% alcohol and a velvety...

A blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate and violet candy. Flavors of blackberry, Mission fig, mint tea, anise and lavender are intertwined with velvety tannins...

I was looking forward to the 2018 Mas de Mancuso Garnacha, from one of the finest vintages in the region in recent times. It comes from a vineyard in the village of Almonacid, an old plot at 670 meters in altitude...

The "orange" 2021 La Cabeza de Perro Blanco was produced with a blend of 60% Palomino, 30% Doña Blanca and 10% Godello from local growers, and it fermented with skins for seven days and matured in used French oak barrels...

The 2019 Las Gravas is a blend of 88% Monastrell from limestone gravel soils and 12% Garnacha also planted in the same gravel soils, but it's obviously much younger than the Monastrell and there's more Garnacha in this...

The first vintage to have the new official category on the label is the 2019 Valtuille Vino de Villa, and it's a barrel selection of barrels from the centenary vines and Villegas, El Val and some La Rata, three zones they...

I think the highlight from the 2020 vintage is the 2020 Parotet, the Arcos-based red blend complemented with 40% Mandó. In 2020 they used a little more full clusters of Arcos at the top of the vat, because they like how...

The 2020 Clos Mogador comes from a very challenging vintage in Priorat, a year with lots of rain and some fungus problems that are very unusual in the zone, which is usually very healthy. They bought a further four...

2017 was a low-yielding year, so I also tasted the 2018 Reserva, their flagship red wine that wants to be a representation of the village of La Aguilera—fine, serious and elegant. It's 95% Tempranillo with the remaining...

The non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos Solera Reserva reveals a medium amber hue along with a nutty honeyed dry personality with great acid. -Robert Parker

The dark amber-hued non-vintage East India Solera is essentially an old Oloroso blended with an old Pedro Ximenez which gives it a sweet character. It offers more mature notes of maple syrup brown sugar spice box raisin...

The scent of green olives introduces this light and elegant Fino. It's briny and fresh with nutty flavors and a hint of iodine. Chill it for jamón Ibérico.

If you are looking for a dry sherry made in a slightly more oxidized style the non-vintage Dry Oloroso Don Nuno Solera Reserva is your choice. Again a nuttiness (in this case walnuts) intermixed with a hint of Chinese...
