From memory, deep garnet to the edges, ripe blackberry and boysenberry nose, thick palate with similar fruit, still lots of rustic tannins, additional acidic finish which somewhat relieved the concentration but also made it a bit hot. Just too much of everything for my taste although a decent complement to our braised short ribs.

Black color. Sweet black currant on the nose. Beautiful entry of ripe black currant & blackberry with tremendous sweetness. Flows into a big structured, high tannin finish that is tolerable because of the sweetness. Lovely. Tasted blind.

Big blackberry on the palate with complimentary mineral notes. Full bodied. Easily identifiable as from Priorat. Tannins are present but seem largely resolved. Nice QPR for $10 clseout price; pretty average deal for $25-28 full retail.
