March 26, 2023 - Montsant, the baby brother of Priorat. Organic. 50% Garnacha 40% Cariñena and 10% Syrah. Soil is Licorella and clay. Punch down during fermentation. Aged 6 months in large vats and then transferred to barrels.
Nose shows baked blueberry but very earthy and savory. Palate shows nice structure, med+ acidity, med+ but fine tannins despite age. -

May 13, 2022 - Cardigan, grenache, and syrah. Now day 2. Lovely aroma of crushed blackberries and lifted red cherries, herbs, and damp earth. Palate w just ripe blackberries, pomegranate, cherries, some earth, nice minerals. Excellent acids and concentration on a medium body. Mild tannins. Nice juicy finish of herbs, green herbs, and tart red and black berries. Young but drinking nicely.

September 27, 2021 - Abrimos la botella el domingo pero estaba tan impracticable por cerrado y no tuvimos otra opción que dejarla abierta 24 horas. Hoy ha evolucionado muy correctamente. Presenta un color rubí oscuro y brillante que se aclara hacia los bordes. El aroma es esencialmente frutal, con muchas notas de mentol y fondo mineral. En boca es un vino que demuestra alta concentración y masividad, tiene una estructura poderosa y acidez correcta, con sabores de fruta roja y alta mineralidad, final largo que mantiene las características frutales y minerales.
Es un vino que probé en añadas anteriores de las que creo recordar menos hiperconcentración y más elegancia. Éste en concreto tiene puntos de contacto con los vinos del Priorato, pero desde luego no es lo mismo -
