2010 Vinya del Vuit

I suspect 2010 might be the best vintage so far for the serious La Vinya del Vuit, a limited-production red for an extremely old vineyard in Priorat produced by a group of eight friends. This is a quite warm vineyard in Gratallops that took very well a vintage like 2010 and shows very good balance between power and freshness, it has concentration while keeping the freshness. It's very earthy, mineral, penetrating and long. A superb classical, Priorat not showing any makeup or oenological tricks other than the earth where the vines grow. Superb! 3,000 bottles.
