TASTING NOTES: 91 Points - [Refers to 2003 vintage] - "The 2003 Llicorella is a blend of Garnacha Negre, Carinena, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Tempranillo aged for 9-10 months in a mixture of French and American oak. Dark ruby colored, it has a fragrant nose of mineral, state, earth, red and black currants. The fruit is ripe and sweet with racy style and lots of flavor. It is an excellent value as well as a terrific introduction to what Priorat is all about." -Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate (more info)

The distinctive slate-and-quartzite soil (locally called llicorella), an abundance of sunshine and an energetic group of young winemakers have earned the region a reputation as one of Spain's most innovative.
