Perhaps the error with this one was that it was the 7th bottle of the night...oops. Any subtlety would have been rendered null by that stage. Black fruit, forward, limited finish but definite velvety mouth feel. Have had nicer Priorat's but this is reasonable value.
Dark, brooding, leathery ink bomb. Bitter Black fruits and cigar box punch but lovely and "smooth". Loved this very much and am very pleased I have another 5 bottles to enjoy over the next 3-5 years.

One feels that this is a mere baby as it is exceptionally tight, right off the bat BUT lots of complexity here. Was far too sloshed by this stage to really discern too many individual flavours but leather, smoke and dark bitter fruits to the fore. Looking forward to the other 5 bottles over a 2-3 year period to see where this goes.
