Messrs Combier and Gerin, already well-established in the Northern Rhône,
have joined forces with Dutchman Peter Fisher, to explore the schistous
terraces of Priorat and the joys of the Garnacha grape.. The alleged junior
cuvée of the three ( the third of which has yet to be made!) the 1/3 is
a deeply serious wine, its vines at least forty years old, indeed some of its
Cariñena vines approaching centurion status.
The blend of Garnacha and Cariñena captures the edgy elegance of the Priorat mission-statement, a message which is generally uncompromising and will require time and contemplation for a full understanding! The 2006 is a slightly lighter beast than the 2005 with a hint more perfume and a less stentorian intimation of longevity. The initial impressions recall graphite, macerated damson, undergrowth and bitter chocolate. Mediterranean warmth with more than a hint of Catalonian class, this wine will work with richly flavoured dishes; tangine perhaps, or osso buco.
