Capafons-Ossó 2006 Sirsell Red (Priorat)
- $30
Reedy, attractive, classy aromas of red fruits, tobacco and fine herbs are like a red carpet entering the gala. The mouth is structured and tannic but not hard or biting; flavors of red berry, plum and cherry lean towards sweet, while the finish is long, medicinal and on the money. Drink now through 2014.

Capafons-Ossó 2003 Mas de Masos Red (Priorat)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
Big, brawny and not entirely welcoming: this Priorat heavyweight is full of licorice and cool black-fruit and cola aromas. The palate is hard as nails, and only time will tell if it softens and finds a sweeter spot. We think it will; in five years it should trade in the current burnt steak notes and fierce tannins for softer touches and more complex flavors.

Capafons-Ossó 2003 Masia Esplanes Red (Montsant)
- $36
Despite the hot year this shows encouraging depth, ripeness and a berry-driven nose. And if you cherish agility and subtleties more than pure power, this has the goods; it’s full of zesty plum and dark berry flavors and the finish is long and fresh. Not a desperate heavyweight with too much extract or oak; instead it boasts finesse and a lightness of being. Drink now.

Capafons-Ossó 2003 Masos d'en Cubells Red (Priorat)
- $55
Time will only help this tough, rough Priorato that isn’t offering a whole lot now besides tannin, dark-fruit flavors and searing oak. The flavors are middle-of-the-road in terms of friendliness and complexity, so expect a forward, hard-hitting wine. Should be more revealing in a few years.
