Has anyone had this 2002 limited production (542 cases) red from the Porrera-Priorat region of Spain? It is a blend of 4 grapes and I hear it is quite good. Any info/TN's are appreciated. TIA

I hope to taste at the winery this summer. I have an invitation from Gerard Simo. If you can be very patient, I might be able to answer your question. 
Board-O,
Let me know when you get back. I believe that the '02 is the current release, possibly the '03.

Hi IW,
I like his wines, his Les Eres Vinyes Velles has cult reviews.
However, I wouldn't buy it at it's present price from the '02 vintage........nor any high end '02s from Priorat.
At these prices, it's worth cherry-picking your vintages.

Mishy,
The '02 Les Sentius is about $30US. Thanks for mentioning the Les Eres.

A store near me had this wine on sale for $27. It is Gerard's first bottling of Les Sentius, second wine to Les Eres.
It had a nose of baked fruit and steamed lobster- yes, steamed lobster. The smell when cracking open a freshly steamed lobster was there. Flavors of dark fruit and anise are well-balanced by adequate acidity and moderate tannins. 90 immediately after decanting. The wine blossomed with an hour in the decanter. 92
