Les Cousins L''Inconscient 2012:
Type: Red wine aging
Producer: Les Cousins Marc & Adrià
Designation of origin: Priorat (Spain)

Bottle: 0.75 L
Rating: Discovering the exceptional terroir of Priorat without having to pay a high price for each bottle is becoming easier every day with initiatives (fortunately, not the only one) like the one offered by Marc and Adriá Pérez. Especially with their wine L''Inconscient, a wine that, from simplicity but without abandoning complexity or finesse, allows us to enjoy that "other" Priorat, more accessible and, above all, affordable.
The Pérez family is an unavoidable reference in this precious designation (Mas Martinet, Cims de Porrera), and Marc and Adriá vinify the wines of this very personal project in the iconic winery of Cims de Porrera, a real introduction, complemented by a striking, original, and artistic label that will undoubtedly attract a younger audience.
L''Inconscient is a fresh and cheerful wine, but also serious, complex, and deep. The Carignan grape, which constitutes 30% of the wine blend, seems shy in the glass, the first impression is of a compact, somewhat closed nose, but over time it ends up revealing its virtues (we recommend opening the bottle at least half an hour before drinking it). Once opened, aromas of great elegance begin to emerge, from fruits picked in the forest (wild fruits, spicy notes) to velvety aromas (fragrance of roses). It seems as if the wine suddenly awakens after a long sleep.;In the mouth, it reacts similarly. It starts with somewhat drying sensations, but over time it shows even a sweet touch and strawberry flavors. The fruit is of quality, well worked (short macerations), and the wine is very easy to drink, clean, frank, with a creamy texture but a light drink, with mineral, earthy notes, a smooth structure, and a well-integrated refreshing acidity. Enjoy it, consciously.
