Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 6, 2015 - Intense aromas are rich and ripe expressing Priorat and the varietals precisely.
Upfront aromas of decadent fig paste, Chambord, Luxardo cherries, strawberry compote, crushed violets, rose petals, chocolate, slate and earth. Ancillary aromas carry licorice, cigar box, leather, sous bois, soy/umami and lighter hints of chestnut and cognac.
The palate is massive with super-fine, refined and chewy tannins and racy, juicy medium+ acidity. Bold, dense flavors of plum, strawberry preserves and raspberry with nutty notes as well as cigar tobacco, cedar, cocoa, baking spice, leather, licorice, earth, mineral and dried flowers.
A pure, long, chewy finish has medium-plus grip.

Overall, in a great drinking window but still has a bit of life left in it. This shows great density, concentration and intensity.
