  Des notes de réduction, aucune acidité
  et une finale sucrée disjointe.
  Comme annoncé il y a quelques années,
  ce vin a mal vieilli...je ne touche pas!

  Better than the last one I opened, but a bit too much cedar notes for me. The wine seems to have aged not quite well. Drink up now or wait not more than 2-3 years.

  Robe de couleur grenat foncé ... Nez sur les fruits et la chaume ... Papilles sur les mêmes thèmes et finale intéressante ...

  A powerful Montsant wine made Sara Pérez (Mas Martinet/Priorat) and René Barbier junior (Clos Mogador/Priorat), the oenological dream couple of Catalonia. Varietal composition: 75 % Garnatxa (60-year-old vines), 10 % Syrah, 8 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 7 % Merlot. 60 percent of the wine spent nine months in French barriques, the rest was aged in tank. Decanted: two hours prior to tasting. Intense dark red color with some violet shades and a complex bouquet of blackberries, leather, cassis and a hint of oregano. The full-bodied palate shows concentrated berry and plum fruit, but the tannins are still quite dominant at present. Good length with a slight balsamic touch. Will likely improve over the next couple of years.
  
  Een krachtige Montsant-wijn, gemaakt door Sara Pérez (Mas Martinet/Priorat) en René Barbier junior (Clos Mogador/Priorat), het oenologisch droomkoppel van Catalonië. Samenstelling: 75 % Garnatxa (60 jaar oude stokken), 10 % Syrah, 8 % Cabernet Sauvignon en 7 % Merlot. 60 procent van de wijn verbleef negen maanden in Franse barriques, de rest rijpte in tank. Gedecanteerd: twee uur vóór consumptie. Intense, donkerrode kleur met wat schakeringen van violet en een complex bouquet van bramen, leder, cassis en een vleugje oregano. Een volmondige wijn met geconcentreerd bessen- en pruimenfruit, maar de tannines zijn op dit moment nog vrij dominant. Degelijke afdronk met een lichte balsamische toets. Zal allicht toegankelijker worden met nog enkele jaren kelderrust.

  I ordered this at Oaxen slipen out of good recollection from 19glas the other month, and it still feels like very good fruit, but for some reason (maybe the pairing is less rich) it now feels more forward, rich and sweet, but still with structure. Like a well made zinfandel from someone who uses less oak than normal. Maybe it was served to warm?
