What is amazing with this degree of ripeness is that consulting oenologist Philippe Melka reported that there was absolutely no raisining of the grapes in 2015 and that the tiny yields provided a level of fruit richness largely unprecedented even in other great vintages

Celler Piñol Raig de Raïm Negre 2018 (750ml) Catalulnya cassis and chocolate truffle cakeThe Raig de Ram red wine from the Piol de Batea winery, in the DO Terra Alta, is surprising for being very sweet and persistent. The nose has aromas of ripe fruit, flowers, balsamic and a hint of licorice. In the mouth it maintains this expressiveness of fruit, with balsamic, spicy and notes of cocoa and toast typical of aging for four months in wooden barrels. The Piol winery produces a production limited to 3,000 bottles.
