This was a lost bottle in the cellar. Had it tonight- no decant - and it was spectacularly good. I was expecting an oxidized mess. Wow, what a surprise! Testimony to the Monsant/Priorat application - drink them old!

Consistent with previous notes. Dense reddish purple color. Nose of cloves and dark berries. Same notes carry through to the palate along with some slightly dusty tannins. Medium finish. Some sediment. Smooth and enjoyable.
Still drinking well; should hold up for decent drinking though at least 2014.

Dark fruits, smooth tanins, obvious sediment as expected. Quite a disappointment on second day.
