The 2005 Mas d’En Compte Tinto is 50% Garnacha, 40% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 14 months in new French and American oak. Deep crimson-colored, it has an alluring nose of pain grille, slate, wild blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a structured, muscular expression of Priorat with outstanding concentration, depth, and length. Give it 5-7 years to blossom and drink it through 2025.
