| Priorat Celler Fuentes VINYA LLISARDA 2001 Barrel Fermented Garnacha Blanca + Macabeo 13,5% Alc. $18-25
Not a week ago I bought CTONIA from the Empordá region and this is almost the same thing: 80% Grenache Blanc + 20% Macabeo and some barrel make this a most impressive white in the Rhone paradigm. Another fat white for a most interesting afternoon: the oak has yet to integrate, but smoky notes cannot conceal such a wealth of white fruit, Mediterranean herbs, white flowers, and mineral nuances all over. A bit too cold and restrained initially, when it opened up it proved most impressive. A partner for blue fish rather than poultry, if you see what I mean, not for everyone perhaps. 88
