March 23, 2023 - my last bottle, last entry on this bottling/vintage. clearly some variation in quality of cork with this wine as i've had trouble with them in the past including this past xmas holiday (no tasting note on that occasion) but this cork came out in perfect condition. the '04 doix vinyes velles continues to defy its age, absolutely firing on all cylinders. beautifully complex, great depth, lots of appeal.

May 25, 2022 - cork 1/3 stained… initially, out of the wine fridge @12c/54f, the nose and palate were v muted, so a good reminder to be patient. similar notes to prior bottles but on this occasion, a pronounced soy aroma. once up in temp, this wine delivers in spades. beautiful mature priorat, lots of savoury character, wood and spice but some blackberry and plum too. and still some good tannic grip on the finish. love.

April 30, 2022 - Definitely showing more depth and complexity than the 2001 we had by its side. More development, silkier tannins and longer finish. This bottle won that battle. Drink on the short term.

March 21, 2022 - A beautiful wine drinking very well at this stage of its life. I wouldn't hold for much longer as I feel this wine is on the plateau about to begin declining, however it should drink well for the next decade.
Great structure and dark fruit. The classic Priorat nose is distinctly part of this wine with a slate(y) minerality and hint of licorice. Sweet tobacco and dried plum were on the finish for me which was quite long.
An impressive wine from a and impressive vintage and, you guessed it, an impressive producer.1 person found this helpful Comment -
