Description

From the store’s library!  Original owner.  Pristine condition!

The 2001 vintage is still considered a benchmark for the Priorat region since winemaking was renewed in the mid-1980s.

“The flagship cuvee, the 2001 Vall Llach, was fashioned from 65-year old Carignan vines (50%), Merlot (35%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%). It spent 17 months in new French oak prior to bottling. This deep ruby/purple-colored offering exhibits great intensity, a beautifully textured mid-palate, and a 45-second finish. Pure notes of minerals, raspberries, flowers, and black fruits cascade over the palate in this multidimensional 2001. Drink it over the next 12 years.” – 96 points, Wine Advocate (April 2004)
