2008 Marc Ripoll Sans Black Slate’s intense aromatics are accompanied by bold, rich flavors. On the palate powerful, earthy tones are balanced by a generous amount of fruit. Black Slate has a long finish with silky smooth tannins. This masculine, strong blend from the small region of Priorat will not disappoint. Its lush, full-body will benefit from being served alongside beef or lamb. Black Slate gets its name from the region’s unique soil that is composed of tiny bits of slate. This wine is a great example of how the marriage of climate and soil can result in a fantastic bottle of wine.
