Wine Advocate ReviewRated 94The 2006 Vall-Llach is 65 Carinena, 20 Merlot, and 15 Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 14 months in 100 new French oak. Opaque purple in color, the nose offers up pain grille, liquid mineral, scorched earth, herbs, incense, and assorted black fruits. Layered, dense, and still a bit ungiving, this powerful, full-bodied wine has gobs of succulent fruit in reserve, plenty of ripe tannin, and a lengthy finish. Allow 6-8 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2030.In the rolling hills of Porrera, within the winemaking region of Priorat, grow the ancient vines of Celler Vall Llach. Dating back over 100 years, many of their vines are pre-phylloxera and provide Vall Llach"s flagship wine with its characteristic elegant structure and individual character. The proprietary blend is soft and sultry, possessing a unique flavor profile of black minerals, ripe forest fruit and Mediterranean herbs.
