This vintage received significant recognition, including Decanter Magazine's award for the top Priorat of 2013. Robert M. Parker Jr. rated it 96 points, praising its exceptional balance, freshness, integrated acidity, and velvety tannins, highlighting it as a superb Carignan. Wine Advocate also noted Ferrer Bobet as "the future showplace of Priorat." Wine Enthusiast described its aromas as minerally with boysenberry and red currant, leading to a racy, tangy, and strictly structured palate with wild berry flavors, schisty minerality, and some oak, finishing nervy and energetic. Community tasting notes also mention dark forest fruit, tar, balsamic, dark chocolate, cherry, and vanilla with a great long finish. 【Decanter Magazine's top Priorat of 2013】. 🍴 Food Pairing: This full-bodied Priorat, with its intense fruit and mineral notes, would be an excellent match for rich, savory dishes.
