Very nice, but did not live up to the hype. Kept the bottle for 10 years at ideal conditions. Perfect cork. Earthy Grenache nose with musky and floral undertones. Spicy on the palate. But faded a little over the three hours of drinking. Maybe I waited a couple years too long to drink it. I prefer the wines of the Rhône valley, which I put in a similar category to Priorato in terms of character.

Mateo @ Home - just opening it I can smell it from the glass. So violet and floral. Rose, chocolate, fig. Tannins have melted away. Mouthfeel is so full and voluptuous. Touch of chalk. Just so delicious. Totally my wheelhouse. At peak. Drink up. Dark dark cherries

Drop dead gorgeous Grenache. Bright red fruits and cherries, did need some time to fully open up. Spicy nose.
