Drank with xmas dinner. Substantial browning at edges, nose is somewhat prune-like. Palate similar, though still with some remaining black fruit, leather, mushrooms. Past its prime though still drinkable

PnP and the initial impression was a very ripe style with notable prune juice and raisin aromas. The palate showed potential with some additional black fruit and slate like minerality. An hour later the over-ripe element and alcohol subsided and more fresh black berry fruits, red plums and raspberries were evident. Full, but not heavy with a long fruit and mineral finish. Some tannins remain but I wouldn't try to age these much longer.

WCC Priorat Blind Tasting (Salty's Pub & Bistro, Clifton Park, NY): Smokey mature nose of mulch and turpentine. Nasty varnish on the palate. Probably corked.
