Dark ruby-purple color, but seemed brighter as we poured. Plum and black currant, with note of tobacco, tar, and spice. Savory, complicated, and wonderful. Paired with, ahem, turkey chili—which is why I reached for the priorat, for low tannins and its own spice. First dip into the Chris’s Cree shipment! Good omen for the rest…
Trasnlucent black cherry color with a developed maroon hue. Dry, dusty and dull nose with some damp cardboard notes and no fruit to speak of. Subtle TCA taste.
Corked. Not obviously corked with tell-tale aromas of mouldy old cellar, but definitely suffering from TCA. Can't say this experience was worth the 175€.

A magical, nuanced wine. Unfortunately, my last 2 bottles.
