Re: RE-WoW!!

Sometimes it is easy to find wines here, sometimes not. Only 36 bottles of La Faraona were imported. On the other hand, 75 cases of Paixar’s total production of 250 cases was imported and, for a while at least, it was easier to get here than in Spain. I even heard about a restaurant in Sapin that wanted to re-import some of the wine back to Spain.

As you mention it...

... I saw the TN of ’Mas d’en Compte 2001’, looks very bad indeed... I have to say that I found a quite strange bottle once... looking as she said... if shed did not find licorella, the bottle might be corrupted...

On the other hand, I think Robert Paker rated it fairly well, and somebody called John Smith (a very decent taster with no influence of the producers who pays all the wines tasted) rated it greatly in verema.com :^D (or was his JoanF?).

More bottles for me if the international critics don’t like it.. :^P

Salut!

By the way... Clos Mogador...

... I think JR missed the point... for any reason she did not have a good bottle a good day... or both.... I do think is as great as Martinet and Mas d’en Compte...

I think, in case of tasting Priorat wines, it is necessary to change the ’chip’... because they are barely comparable with other wines...

Cheers!

The only Priorat I’ve ever tasted is Mas d’em Compte Blanc ’01. I do really love it... but I have no chip to change at all...

Cheers,

As I said Jose,

Have you ever tried a red Priorat?

If the answer is YES: fiuuuuuuuuuu....

If the answer is NO: Go to the next emergency wine shop and buy yourself a Clos Martinet, Clos Mogador or something like them.. If the point is the budget, the Martinet Bru 2002 will do very well... Embruix or something like them, don’t forget Mas d’en Compte Red...

Tell us, how it happened?

:^DDDDDDDD Joking, of course...

Re-cheers!

I’ve do never tasted any red Priorat... It’s true... Well... I’m the way of fixing it, but just in the way... ’Til some months (at least ’til this hatefully hot weather go away ;) I won’t taste any red wine... You know ;)))

Cheers,

Jose
