The 2020 Black Slate Porrera was produced with a blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Carińena that fermented in concrete and stainless steel and matured in 225- 300- and 500-liter barrels for 12 months. It's ripe at 15% alcohol with a pH of 3.5 and a black nose with some notes of graphite, fountain pen ink and licorice, black rather than red fruit, a little dusty with a hint of meat and blood, a little animal. It has some dusty tannins and an earthy feeling with a dry finish. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2021.
