Grenache and Carignan is the usual blend but many new growers are experimenting with additions of sauvignon and merlot. It has a superb depth, is dark and voluptuous and has that smack of leathery tannin that makes you realise you have a great old world wine. It really wants a meal with it, preferably robust and strongly flavoured too. Worth the price if you have a reason, the 2004 and 2005 are drinking well now, perhaps the 2005 has the edge, we haven&#8217;t yet tried the 2006.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Priorat has consistently been voted as hosting some of the best wines in Spain. Prices correspond with the higher quality that the rest of the world has to offer, many recent vintages selling for well over 50 euros a bottle.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_4283 by Lee Robertson1, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lee_robertson\/5171760354\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4083\/5171760354_bc63a9cfbd_m.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4283\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mas d&#8217;en Gil Coma Vella is one of the larger vineyards in a very small region, with a good name for consistent quality.<\/p>\n<p>Last June I visited this remote and relatively isolated region to get a feel of the wine and place.
