  Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): open 18.20 decanted 18.30 tasted 19.10
  The wine shows ruby youthful color
  In the nose, the wine feels rather closed at this point, thick spicy/oak frame, nutmeg, clove, ripe to dried black currant and cherry, walnut liqueur notes, alcohol warmth (14.50%)
  In the palate, the wine shows warmth again, sweetness overall, clove, juicy tannins, caramelized pastry notes, roasted walnut and almond, nutmeg, black cherry notes, medium body and medium to long finish, despirately in need of time and air
  -/-
  Wait and you also get red fruit (90+ minutes), sourcherry, the nose "clear up", gets easier to find things in it

  Needs some time to open up. Dark fruit. Nice easy drinking but not representing Priorat for me.

  Give it a decent decant. Nice, clean and fresh Priorato. Not a bold one but more elegant. Great viscosity.
