The Priorat wine people cross a shop for
Luis Gutierrez scored the 2022 at 98 for Wine Advocate in May 2025. He put the alcohol at 15.5% and the bottling in May 2024, and he called the Syrah share perhaps 20%, with Garnacha the rest. Jeb Dunnuck also scored it 98, at 80% Garnatxa and 20% Syrah, raised in French Burgundy barrels. Joaquin Hidalgo at Vinous scored it 96 on that same 80/20. Wine Library lists the bottle at $299.95, and Zachys lists it at $329.99.
If Laurel is the Clos i Terrasses wine you can find, what was that bottle pointing at the whole time?

Garnacha, with Syrah in the glass
Read the glass as Garnacha first. Dunnuck and Hidalgo both publish 80% Garnatxa and 20% Syrah, and Gutierrez's 98-point note keeps the Syrah near that same share. The wine left the cellar in May 2024, at 15.5% alcohol, from French barrels.

Lamb. Ribeye.
Priorat Garnacha wants a chop with herbs, or a ribeye with a hard crust.
Herb-crusted lamb chops
Rosemary, a pink center, a dark plate.
Why it works: The herbs meet the Garnacha, and the lamb fat meets the 15.5% alcohol.
Ribeye
Sliced steak, rosemary, pan juices.
Why it works: Brown beef gives the Syrah share something to hold.
