Ferrer Bobet 2006 Red (Priorat)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Thoroughly modern in style, with an oaky nose of campfire, spice, vanilla, sawdust and molten berry. The palate is solid and shows good vital acidity, while the flavors of blackberry are meaty and thorough, with hints of coconut, chocolate and cream. Seems a little more balanced and interesting than FB’s richer, softer Selección.

Ferrer Bobet 2007 Red (Priorat)
- $50
Hard spice, blackberry and leather form a firm opening salvo, then oak, mocha and chocolate notes take over on the bouquet. The palate is firm and healthy, with minerally berry, spice, leather and chocolaty flavors. Long, alert, pure and driving on the finish. Drink now through 2016.

Ferrer Bobet 2006 Selecció Especial Red (Priorat)
- Online Exclusive
- $95
Dark and dense, with aromas of rich black fruits, grilled meat and a lot of oak. The palate is extracted but it’s not the least bit hard or biting. Flavors of Concord grapes and blackberry are sweet, and the finish keeps its fruit. Could it use more minerality and toughness? Maybe, but as is it’s very approachable. Drink now through 2012.

Ferrer Bobet 2007 Selecció Especial Red (Priorat)
- Online Exclusive
- $95
Roasted, leathery and sulphuric out of the bottle, but time serves it well and soon herbal notes, tanned saddle and baked berry aromas emerge. Feels a bit sheer and tight, with fiery plum and berry flavors. Grippy on the finish, so it needs time in bottle or plenty of air if you’re drinking now.

Ferrer Bobet 2005 Red (Priorat)
- $45
Closed and funky out of the bottle, but time allows the wine to round into form. As it does that, oak and coffee aromas emerge from the schisty bouquet, while the palate is mocha-infused and loaded with dark, masculine fruit. Arguably a little woody and resiny, but there’s no challenging the wine’s power, integrity and Priorat character.
