Pasanau Germans
Pasanau Germans 2004 Finca la Planeta Red (Priorat)
- $55
Powerpacked stuff, no ifs, ands or buts. But it’s also a tannic heavyweight with a clamp-down palate that feels a bit like chewing on bolts. Starting aromas of raisin, char and black olive are brooding and mulchy, while the main act is dark, with coffee and cassis. Better flavors than feel; however, time could tame the beast.

Pasanau Germans 1999 Finca la Planeta Red (Priorat)
- $34
Green olive and vegetal aromas are offset by Mexican spices. Flavors of coffee and brown sugar are more earthy than fruit driven, thanks to the 2,400-foot elevation of the vineyard.

Pasanau Germans 2006 Ceps Nous Red (Priorat)
- $27
Dark in color, with a heavy, semiflat nose that is sort of gaseous. Airing brings it out of its slumber, unveiling medium-bright dark fruit, schisty mineral and spice flavors. Finishes chunky, with some fire, heat and bitter chocolate. Good but not as lively and precise as the great ones from Priorato.

Pasanau Germans 2003 Ceps Nous Red (Priorat)
- $20
Aromatically satisfying, with heat, spice and brandied plum notes. Fairly narrow on the palate, with dark-cherry flavors softened by a light wave of vanilla and caramel. Short on the back end, with a quick finish. Imported by Classical Wines.
