2006

Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Mas Martinet, Cami Pesseroles, Priorato, 2006

Camí Pesseroles is located off any ancient path between Gratallops and Porrera in a valley called Pesseroles, this wine is a belnd of 60% massale selection Garnache and 40% old vines Carinena grow on sheer slopes. The steep rocky slope imparts a powerful mineral quality to the wine aswell as great overall intensity. The 2006 is a serious joy, initially brooding but with aeration the palate abounds with red fruits such as sloe, damson and refreshing cranberry notes, also revealing touches of blueberry, oriental spice and faint liquorice nuances thjat overlayintense salt and mineral characteristics. Pure, gripping and built to last.

Josh Raynolds, Vinous

(a 60/40 blend of grenache and carignan) Vivid ruby. Smoky red and dark berries on the nose, with sexy notes of Asian spices and potpourri lending an exotic quality. Deep red and dark berry flavors show liqueur-like depth and power, with zesty mineral and spice notes providing energy. Impressively lithe for a powerful wine, finishing with impressive lift and spicy persistence. This won't let go of the palate.

Mas Martinet

Mas Martinet

When Sara Perez talks about her wines you listen. She is one of those infectious characters that manages to explain terroir in ways that are abstract yet wholly understandable. Her passion when talking about the vineyards she exploits is palpable and visible. Waving her arms and hunching her shoulders it is impossible not to be drawn in; it is mesmeric. You understand just what she means when she throws her arms up like a spring bursting from the earth and says “Escurons, it is life. It needs the cool breath of an amphora to truly allow it to express itself”. And when she hunches her shoulders and furrows her arms to the earth and says “Pesseroles is elemental and needs wood to give it some warmth” you get it too. Mas Martinet has come a long way since estate's inception in 1989 (the same time that Clos Dofi, Clos Mogador, Clos Erasmus and Clos de l'Obac were established) and, thanks to Sara Perez, is now one of the most respected of Spain’s small family estates. The emphasis here is on Garnacha and Carinena, with diminishing proportions of Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot making up the numbers. Between Menut and Martinet Bru, the entry level wines offer stunning silky fruit and slate-spiced wines representative of the region. Each of the single crus, meanwhile, is designed to represent a different era in the history of Priorato; Els Escurcons the pre-phylloxera era when locals would plant Garnacha at altitude to benefit from cooling breezes, Cami Pesseroles the era immediately after phylloxera when poor vignerons set about re-planting with the high yielding Carinena grape, and Clos Martinet representing the modern era, when international varieties arrived in Priorat and investment returned to the area. Experiments with food-trodden, naturally-styled whites have proven very exciting, and the 2017 vintage sees the first commercial release of Cami Pesseroles “Brisat” – a blend of Garnacha Blanca, Picpoul and Pedro Ximenez, raised in amphora and glass demi-johns. Up and down, the Mas Martinet wines are strikingly beautiful examples of what Priorato can achieve and demonstrate exactly why the wine-loving world should sit up and take note of this unique slate-rich region.
