The 2010 Nus is a sweet red blend of 80% Garnacha, 15% Syrah and a dash of white Viognier with nearly 200 grams of residual sugar. It has a nose of candied red fruit and some spices with good balance between sweetness, alcohol and acidity, which make it pleasant and easy to drink, with the sweetness taking a secondary role to the flavor of fresh, ripe fruit. This is one of the best examples of sweet red Priorat. It should age well but it-s approachable now. Experiment with chocolate desserts or hard cheeses. Drink now-2020.
The Rovira family bought the Masia Barril winery in Priorat in 1998 and renamed it with the name of the estate, Mas d-En Gil. Marta Rovira is in charge of winemaking and has been fine- tuning the wines, which have reached a very good level, according to the wines I tasted. They have been moving toward bigger-sized oak containers for the aging of their wines and reducing the amount of new wood as well as moderating the extraction, looking for elegance and balance in their wines in a very successful way. A (not so new) name on the way up.
