| Mas Igneus, Costers De Mas Igneus 2001 750Ml |
 | Review by: Robert Parker
Wine Advocate: Issue 145, February 2003
Rating: 94 points
Drink now - 2020
The outrageously delicious 2001 Costers de Mas Igneus Old Vines is fashioned from the winery's six oldest parcels (planted between 1901-1920). A blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Carignan aged one year in new French oak, it is bottled without fining or filtering. It boasts an opaque purple color as well as a beautiful perfume of black raspberry liqueur, cassis, minerals, kirsch, and flowers, superb purity, a lush, layered texture, and a tremendously persistent finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. Moderately high tannin in the finish suggests aging of 3-5 years will bring even more attention to this impressively endowed wine. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. This is an outstanding value.

This is almost too easy to like. Lush blueberry jam and piecrust notes are rich and sweet, enrobed in a plush texture and lingering sweetly on the vanilla-scented finish. It may not satisfy the traditionalists, but the pleasure is hard to deny. Drink now through 2009. 310 cases made.

| Alvaro Palacios, L'Ermita 2004 750Ml |
 | Review by: Jay Miller
Wine Advocate: Issue 169, February 2007
Rating: 98 points
Drink 2007 - 2027
2004 was a superb vintage in Priorat and the three entries from Alvaro Palacios are stunning. The 2004 L'Ermita is harvested from a 5 acre parcel of 70-year-old head-pruned vines of which 85% is Grenache, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Carignan aged in 100% new French oak. The color is purple/black and the super-expressive nose offers toast, minerals, kirsch, and blackberry. The wine is full-bodied and seamless with complex flavors and the tannin totally concealed. The finish is very long and pure in this powerful yet elegant offering. It should drink splendidly for 15-20 years.

Perfumed and delicate, yet deep and powerful. Floral and berry aromas give way to black cherry, mineral and cocoa flavors, and the texture is firm yet tender. This red shows a firm structure and excellent focus. Tight, so decant. Best from 2008 through 2015.

Drink after 2007
Cocoa, licorice, blueberry, mineral and floral notes mingle in this powerful and complex red. It has plenty of tannins, wood and alcohol, but all in balance. Dense and brooding now, it promises to sing with time. Best after 2007.

| Torres, Grans Muralles 2001 750Ml |
 | Review by: Jay Miller
Wine Advocate: Issue 175, February 2008
Rating: 93 points
Drink by: N/A
The 2001 Grans Muralles is a blend of Monastrell, Garnacha, Garro, Samso, and Carinena sourced from a single vineyard and aged for 18 months in new French oak. Deep crimson-colored, it has an alluring perfume of cedar, tobacco, saddle leather, spice box, mineral, blueberry, and black cherry. This leads to an elegant, ripe, suave wine with expressive, incipiently complex flavors, and a very long finish. This is impressive!

| Melis, Melis 2004 750Ml |

Wine Advocate: Issue 169, February 2007
Rating: 94 points
Drink now - 2027
From the same team that brings you the Central Coast's superb Sea Smoke Pinot Noirs comes Melis, a splendid example of what can be achieved in Priorat. The 2004 Melis, from an outstanding vintage, is a blend of 63% Grenache, 16% Carignan, 14% Syrah, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged for 15 months in several sizes of 100% new Burgundian oak before being bottled without fining or filtration. Purple-colored, it exhibits sweet aromas of vanilla spice, toast, mineral, wild blueberry and blackberry. Full-bodied (a nicely concealed 15.5% alcohol) with a velvety palate-feel, layers of opulent black fruit flavors, ripe tannins, and a long, pure finish, this large-scaled wine can be enjoyed now and over the next 15-20 years.

This red shows impressive concentration. It's full-bodied, with ripe, dark flavors of boysenberry and blackberry, anise and coffee. Mouthfilling tannins need time to soften. Best from 2008 through 2018. 800 cases made.

| Clos Figueres, 2005 750Ml |
 | Review by: Robert Parker
Wine Advocate: Issue 159, June 2005
Rating: 92 points
Drink now - 2017
The stunning 2003 Clos Figueres, a blend of Grenache, Carignan, Merlot, and small dosages of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, is an elegant, beautifully knit, dense ruby/purple-hued effort displaying a sweet perfume of crushed rocks intermixed with white flowers, blue and black fruits, and a subtle touch of wood. It is a noble, racy effort with medium to full body as well as a lovely texture. As one might expect from someone who has lived in Bordeaux for over a quarter of a century, this is a wine of considerable elegance and potential longevity. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017.

This limited production cuvee from Priorato is a blend of 70% old vine Grenache and 30% Carignan. Lush, fat, and fleshy is the opaque purple-colored 2000 Gran Clos. Deep, pure, full-bodied, and impressive, it reveals notions of melted licorice intermixed with kirsch liqueur and raspberry fruit. It should drink well for 10-12 years.
