95 Punkte Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194 May 2011: "The 2007 Seleccio Especial reveals lilacs, exotic spices, incense, black cherry, and black plum aromas that inform the nose of this savory, elegant, layered, precision Priorat. Give it another 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it from 2013 to 2022." Drink: 2013-2022. $90

Ferrer/Bobet is the future showplace of Priorat. No expense has been spared in the construction of a magnificent winery and in the planting of the vineyards. Sergi Ferrer-Salat is a young pharmaceutical tycoon with apparently a much greater interest in fine wine than drugs, while his partner Raul Bobet was the long-time winemaker at Torres. Ferrer-Salat makes it clear that his goal is to make the greatest wine possible without regard to whether he makes money. I’m not sure if Bobet would totally agree, but it appears that he is up for the challenge. As for the wines, they are currently made from purchased fruit as the Ferrer-Bobet vineyards are still very young. However, money talks and the winery has been able to access great old-vine Carignan and Grenache fruit, enough so that they might have some difficulty surpassing what they have already achieved when their vineyard matures. Currently two wines are made, the Ferrer/Bobet cuvee and the Seleccio Especial. The 2006s have previously been reviewed, the 2007s are currently in the market, and the 2008s will follow shortly.
