Celler Cal Pla, Priorat, Porrera Black Slate

Seemed a little woody, possibly corked

has hit its best - time to drink up I think, beginning to thin a bit

This wine is evolving nicely. I wish that I had bought more. Nice sweet and spicy nose with good fruit concentration. Jammy and delicious.

Great

Cassis, blueberry, dark cherry flavors, nice roundness, smooth. Nice dryness at the end.

Dark fruit and chocolate. Smooth, dry and well rounded.

Rich Strawberry and blackberry on nose. syrupy fruit, licorice , spice and tantalizing acid. Long finish.

very dissapointing Priorat. don't think merits the higher ratings I've seen for this wine.

Wow - so delicious. First time trying this, but was a social event at office before Thanksgiving, so I didn't take notes, sadly. We had tasted a number of wines first and brought this out from the stash as an afterthought. In comparison to the cabs, this was just a little lighter and really sweet tannins. Not to mention simply delicious. This was the last bottle opened, and the first one to be empty. On those grounds alone this was …

Full and balanced palate of dark fruit. Refreshingly smooth and even on the palate. Not too dry, not too sweet but just where I like it. The nose is an intoxicating blend of sweet spice, dark fruit with a hint of blueberry. You can sip this wine without food because of the wonderfully balanced palate. Yummy stuff. This wine was decanted but I think it would drink well from the bottle. After having the sister 07 Black Slate Grattalops last …

Overall good wine, but nothing to merit 90+ points. No formal notes.

Delicious priorat - this is the real deal at an amazing price. Nose is a bit muted, but this wine explodes on the palate with dark fruit and spice, esp. anise. This does not have the nose of Joan Sangenis's more expensive Mas D'En Compte bottling (among the best reds I've ever had), but this has similar unique and distinctive Porrera priorat flavors on the palate. Good QPR, esp. for Priorat.
