This wine was fantastic and every bit in it's window. Layers of nuance, classic prio llicorella, and pretty close to a pop and pour with a minimal 30 mins of air. Love Vall Llach wines, but especially this big guy.

Bought at the cellar door 11 years ago. Pretty, rich nose of black fruit, licorice, toasted herbs and black mineral. Medium-to-full bodied fruit with no sign of roasted or overdone fruit. Fresh and buoyant. Only moderately complex with herbs accenting the fruit. Balanced and full of pleasure.

Took to dinner when Mr. and Mrs. bman (from the WS boards) visited. Amazing nose, very Bordeaux-like; however, the palate was loaded with dark plum, dark chocolate, (hell, dark everything!), licorice, minerality/graphite. Opened up as the evening wore on. Singing. Drink or hold.

A big wine, deep and manly, a bit rustic as well; dark, sweet, yet tight and quite vertical. Very good Carignan here. Will live on ...
