There’s just 35% Garnacha Blanca here (the vines are 100 years old), with 50% Viognier — planted in error after a local nurseryman sold it as Cabernet Sauvignon — and the balance coming from Chenin Blanc.  The rather heavy aromas suggest that Viognier may not be happy here, and the palate lacks a little purity and focus.  On the plus side, this is a concentrated wine with some stoniness and balancing acidity; it has the ingrained Priorat seriousness to it, too.
