Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2005

(100% grenache blanc from century-old vines grown on slate) Musky, smoky nose combines orchard fruits, fresh herbs and a leesy complexity. Fat, thick and spicy, with an impression of sweetness (but this reportedly is technically dry, with under three grams per liter of residual sugar). Fruit-driven flavors of pineapple, citrus skin, flowers, licorice and fennel. Offers both suggestions of superripeness and sound acidity. This shows terrific fruit for a white Priorat wine; I'd enjoy it within the next couple of years. .

Score 92/100 · Drink 2005-2007, Robert Parker, Jun 2005

This is the finest effort I have yet tasted of this 100% Grenache Blanc from vineyards averaging 100 years of age, planted in the pure schist of Priorat. The wine sees no wood aging, and is kept on its lees to build texture. The 2004 is a dead-ringer for a top-flight white Chateauneuf du Pape. With surprising viscosity, full body, zesty acidity, freshness, and minerality, it is a large-scaled, heady white offering notes of licorice, white currants, rose petals, and a touch of honeysuckle. It brilliantly displays what can be achieved with impeccable winemaking and old vines in a region better known for its classic reds. Drink it over the next 1-2 years although I suspect it may last longer. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
