Buil & Gine Priorat Giné Giné

Closed aromas of coffee, tar, and cherry. Forgettable in the mouth. Slight drying tannins. After two hours it completely closed down showing only sulphur and yeast. I saved a glass to see if it would open up. No. Why do I keep buying wine from this producer?

A blend of grenache and carignan from the districts of Bellmunt, Gratallops, La Vilella Baixa, El Molar, La Vilella Alta, El Lloar and Torroja. Around half the grapes come from new vines, and around half from old vines. A lovely, vibrant, fragrant nose reminiscent of a Rivesaltes vin doux. Very much a let down on the palate, where it’s all just a bit ordinary. Very well made though – just dull. Very Good.
