On the nose there are notes or ripe black fruits such as plum, and also some liquorice. Careful ageing in French oak barrels, delivers toasty notes, some tobacco, cedar wood and dark chocolate and pepper.
On the palate this wine is well structured thanks to its soft ripe tannins, displaying flavours of toast and of ripe black fruits. Long, powerful, and with great keeping potential.

Morlanda was founded in 1997 in Bellmunt del Priorat. The estate is located in the south-western end of Priorat and is comprised of 82 hectares of forest, 22 of which are planted with vines ranging from 20 to 80 years old.
They are currently focusing on more sustainable management of the vineyard. It is a challenge to change from conventional growing to more respectful growing. They are proud to be one of the first wineries to use probiotics, ultimately steering the way toward sustainable agriculture.
Soils
Llicorella soils: rocky soils formed by Quartenary slate that contribute to the unique, minerality characteristic of Priorat.
Calcareous clay soils: where there is a predominance of sediments from the erosion and sedimentation of rivers.
Red soils: red clays common on the edge of the region, widespread on some of their plots.
