Ruby color and clear. Very fragrant nose. On the palate, medium body, still plenty of red fruit, slightly tart, some interesting chalkiness and minerality, reasonably smooth with some remaining grip. A rather elegantly styled Priorat which still has some remaining life. Quite good for the vintage.

The grenache blend softens the chalky, tannic mouthfeel I'd expect in a Spanish wine. This one displays semi-tart blackberries, ripe raspberries, and a little tobacco on the tongue, with faint flowers on the nose. Matching pretty well with a Spanish ham sandwich for this near-midnight snack.

Magnificent wine from start to finish. Great complexity, spicy but velvet tones, delicious.

rich, velvety, fruity with well-balanced tannins and solid hints of brambles, shrubs, and tobacco. Drinking well, esp with pork, rice, and beans.
