The flagship offering is the limited production cuvee of 2001 Clos Figueras, a blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 20% Merlot, 10% Syrah, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sadly, there are only 168 cases produced. It exhibits an inky purple color, great richness, and tremendously intense, provocative aromas of black fruits, crushed stones, and flowers. Full-bodied, with fabulous richness, an expansive texture, and a long, firm, structured, well-delineated finish, it will be at its finest between 2008-2020. Bravo to Christopher Cannan, one of the great gentlemen in the wine business. Importer: a Christopher Cannan Selection, various American importers including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300 and Diamond Wine Merchants, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 567-9897

Amazing depth of color and density of texture give this a Port-like character. The flavors are dark and deep, with chocolate, plum, prune and licorice notes. Thick and heavy, almost sweet with oak and alcohol. Impressive, if not really for the dinner table. Best after 2004. 170 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
