5th Nov 2023 Allow to breathe for 30mins in the bottle. Before this too dry on the first mouthful. Then it opens up with mild fruit and sweetness and increasingly balanced on the palate wiry medium and slight elegant finish.
Good wine, reminds me of CDP

The cork comes out in fairly pristine condition, a little weak in the middle, but I had little problem putting it back in and pulling it back out.
Mostly dark and brooding - I can smell oak so I'm concerned I've either committed infanticide or there's an over use of oak.
There's a lot going on here: black fruit and cedar, gritty and smoky with a tannin dryness that at times can overwhelm the tongue ... Happily, there is some black raspberry on the lingering finish.
2:00 hrs later ... Hardly moved at all. There's quite a bit of oak on this wine and while the dark fruit aspect is there the oak packs a real punch. Will it come into its own and become a fully focused wine, or will this fall apart as an oak bomb? Time will tell and I give it ...
24 hrs later ... And it has smoothed out, the dark fruit has beaten the oak down into submission and it's a beauty of a bottle of wine to drink.

This very approachable Priorat is a blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah which seems to be made for easy drinking. Inky crimson colour. There are dark berry aromas and more of the same on the palate, good intensity and with a very smooth texture ending long on redcurrants. A lot going on but not for long keeping I think.

Cette fois...cerise noir, notes florales, épices, tabac, barrique...arômes balsamiques. Mi-corsé, ample, tannins poussiéreux, saveurs de fruits rouges...succulent ! Moyenne à longue finale fruité.
