2003 Cims de Porrera Solanes Priorato
($29) Ruby-red. Smoky, herb-accented cherry and dark berry aromas have a distinctly ripe cast. Deep and lush, with powerful, ripe cherry and blackcurrant flavors further deepened by sweet tobacco and roasted coffee. A chewy, broad-shouldered wine, and ripe in the style of the vintage, finishing on a warm, toasty cherry note. (Folio Fine Wine Partners, Napa, CA)
