2005 Rotllan Torra Tirant

The 2005 Tirant is composed of 35% Garnacha from a 90 year old parcel, 35% Mazuelo (Carinena) also 90 years of age, with the balance equal portions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot that was aged for 14 months in new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it sports an enthralling nose of liquid mineral, exotic spices, incense, lavender, and roasted black fruits. Already complex, dense, sweetly fruited and structured for the long haul, this is a powerful, lengthy Priorat that should drink well through 2030, perhaps longer.
