2010 La Conreria d'Scala Dei Black Slate Escaladei Priorat D.O.O.

"Comprised of 80% Garnacha and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 20 months in French and American oak barrels and foudre, the 2010 Conreria d’Scala Dei Priorat Black Slate Escaladei is an energetic, beautifully lifted and elegant Priorat that delivers plenty of jammy black raspberry, licorice, pepper, and underbrush like qualities that flow to a medium to full-bodied, fresh, and focused palate. Turning even more floral and elegant with air, this beautifully balanced and structured 2010 has a core of acidity, layers of fruit, and no shortage of length on the finish. It will evolve gracefully for 7-8 years, possibly upwards of a decade.
