911 bottles made, 360 imported. “Quasi Centenaria” roughly translates to “about 100 years old,” a reference to this gnarly old Carignan vineyard planted right around 1919.  The vines grow on two steep, rock-covered, slopes, one facing north and the other south, located in the heart of Priorat.  Given the age of the vines, the lack of water, extreme heat, and absence of nutrients in the soil, these vines struggle to give 300 grams of fruit per bush – enough for about two-thirds of a bottle per vine.

What's it like in the glass?  We resort to metaphor. It's Lebron James in a Tom Ford tuxedo - massive and powerful, for sure, but handsome, stylish, ready to explode but in control, and undeniably rich.  A nuclear bomb with laser focus. Mohamad Ali in his prime, graceful, muscular, ready to charm with a sly rhyme but a little dangerous and primed to explode. Fun to taste now, best from 2024, delivering excitement for 20 years.  Oh, and for the first time ever, there are two magnums, too.
