    November 15, 2023 - Clean cork. Not decanted, but some sediment in the bottle. Drinking well in a mature style. At peak.

    August 14, 2021 - Stewed plum, sweet cherry and a hint of roasted sweet peppers on the nose, this wine has gained depth and complexity as it shed its almost overwhelming youthful bravado. Just delightful at this stage, but drink now-2023 at latest.

    November 2, 2020 - Over 7 years since I've had this and it hasn't changed a bit. Inky purple with just a hint of bricking. Big dark fruits, saddle leather, decaying leaves, tar, and tobacco. Very masculine and more Madiran than Priorat. Lots of EtOH that I will feel tomorrow, but for now on a cool Monday night I have no complaints. Like all 05s Priorats I have had this is not for faint-hearted.
