Wine: Clos de L'Obac
The 2007 Clos de L-Obac is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Syrah, Merlot, and Carinena aged for 14 months in new French oak. It offers a similar aromatic and flavor profile to the Miserere but the addition of new oak adds a bit more complexity to the nose and a creamier texture. Mineral, asphalt, incense, spice box, and assorted black fruit aromas are followed by a dense, layered, savory wine with more structure and aging potential than its sibling. Give it 4-6 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2014 to 2022, perhaps longer.

Wine: Miserere
Costers del Siurana's 2007 Miserere is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Tempranillo, Merlot, and Carinena aged for 12 months in French oak and bottled without filtration. Although a slightly atypical blend for the region, it has plenty of Priorato character. Purple-colored, it has a fragrant perfume of liquid minerality, scorched earth, spice box, violets, black currant, and black cherry. Dense and potentially complex, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2019.

Wine: Dits del Terra
The Dits del Terra vineyard cuvee (from 83-year-old vines) is 100% Carinena from a south facing site that is aged for 24 months in 18 HL foudres. The 2008 Dits del Terra displays higher acidity than normal due to the cool growing season in a normally warm site that typically shows the darker side of Priorat. Purple in color with a nose of lavender, Asian spices, incense, blackberry, and blueberry, on the palate it reveals a firm structure with fresh, lively acidity, intense flavors, lots of spice, and a pure finish. Drink it from 2013 to 2023.

On the palate it is dense, spicy, and elegant (due in part to the cool growing season) with impeccable balance and length. Although it can be approached now, it will be better with several more years of cellaring.
