Popped and poured. Medium bodied, elegant and nicely balanced this sports flavors of black cherry, licorice and herbs on the palate. Mature, complex. Will continue to evolve for five more years.

A much better bottle Weekend after thanksgiving with Bella’s parents Opened and poured after dinner Big mistake this juice benefits tremendously from air and abundant sediment but it showed much better, displayed more aromas and showed more fruit than my previous bottle over a year ago Medium to full body went well with some strong cheeses

The 2011 Dits del Terra is mostly opaque and medium ruby in color. This requires an hour in the decanter which allows the nose to blossom with aromas of dried cranberry, raspberry, black cherry, rose, cured meat, tobacco, earthy mushroom, forest floor, and crushed rock. Once this hits the palate, it displays notes of cranberry, strawberry, raspberry, licorice, dried tobacco leaf, dried loamy earth, baking spice, ground green herbs, and slate. The 2011 Dits del Terra is beautifully balanced and medium-bodied with medium (+) acidity, medium tannins, and a long finish. 4,458 bottles produced.
100% Carignan (85-year-old vines at 400m elevation); 13.5% ABV

This wine needs air. Interesting nose of red raspberry and cherry fruit with some rosehip and slate spice with medicinal herbic accent. Medium Complexity. Very straightforward on the palate and very slender style for Priorat. Little grip, yet lively tannin on the palate, pronounced minerality at good length. Salty. Independently. Can mature for a few more years. Acts still young. 91-92

Smooth, well integrated. Stand up before opening to settle out fine sediment; I believe the producer does minimal filtering or fining.
