2013 Nin-Ortiz, Priorat, Planetes di Nin (RT92) Crafted from biodynamically grown fruit, using only indigenous yeast, this is a blend of Garnatxa Negre (grenache) and Carinyena (carignan). Grown from younger vines ranging from 10-20 years old, these vines are raised in schist soils. This powerful wine leans toward a dark ruby, as its expression of Priorat terroir rises tall with black cherry, black berry, schist minerality and an alluring spiciness wafting from the stem. With time in the glass dried leaves, bark and other fall notes emerge. The palate is silky and soft while still delivering young, unevolved fruit. The balance is artful with a fine balance of fruit, soft acidity and seductively ripe tannins. A wonderful combination of all things Priorat. Drink now-2033+
