February 13, 2022 - Fortfarande i bra form med fin syra och mix av olika bär mot fond av choklad och lite läder. Sammetslika tanniner. Något endimensionellt men ett sympatiskt vin som även klarar sig fint på egen hand.

February 24, 2021 - Same as last bottle—see previous note. Confirm no decant needed and time to drink up.

October 14, 2020 - Nice bouquet, licorice and spice, integrated tannins, smooth mouthfeel, mid weight. Drank without a decant which was fine. Serve a bit on cooler side (<18C) as quite alcoholic (14.5%). Great pairing with steak and somewhat spicy vegetables. Garnacha and Carignan. (Much prefer this style to my bottles of Clos Mogador Manyetes.) Not over the hill but time to drink up.

April 30, 2020 - Generous nose, dark fruits, plum, cherries, chocolate, a little sweetness.medium to fullbodied, rounded tannins, medium acidity, and with dry fruit in the finish. Nose at its peak, but may be missing some fruit in the taste. Drink up.

December 21, 2018 - Dark red, paling edges. Typical Priorat bq w stone dust, minerals, liquorice, chocolate. Medium+ body w rounded tannins, ripe fruit w minerals and cherries, good acidity. Good balance. Age has softened the "normal" Priorat style. Aftertaste medium length, nice but nothing special. Will last a few more years, but don't wait.
