  March 8, 2024 - Quite special. Olive tapenade that gives way to crackling pie fruit--the nose smells like charred sugar and blackberry--and ends with a bright, mineral finish, like sucking on a tart penny. I'm not sure if this is SO much better than the label's cheaper Laurel to deserve the price tag, but the flavors here are a lot stronger, and after two hours or so they balance out marvelously. This is kind of like Laurel's snooty older sister--a bit more refined, with more delicate fruit and savory notes, and less herbal energy. It's possible that I drank this a little young as well--I'd like to taste Clos Eramus at the 10 year point for a comparison. But either way this is damn fine juice from one of the world's finest vintners.

  November 28, 2023 - Tasting: Liked this, but I can see in my notes that I liked the 2017 even more (95) = give this wine a few more years in the cellar and it will be fine.

  March 19, 2023 - This wine is superb. It has a perfumed flavor that envelopes the palate. It's the kind of flavor that makes you want to take this wine and put it behind the ears like a perfume. Deliciously sweet jam filled and fruity. It packs a punch with the alcohol afterwards but while drinking it's not sensed at all. I'm so glad I got a 3 pack. Loved Priorat wine since I drank 2003 Mas Doix years ago and hadn't tasted anything as good until now as this Erasmus is the pinnacle. Enjoyed it with a Martha Stewart dish of Chicken, artichoke and spinach over white rice.
