  Similar to prior notes. Just give it an hour decant.

  Deep Ruby appearance.
  Developing, med+ aromas of red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry, maybe blueberry), cassis, spice, slate/graphite.
  Dry wine, med+ acidity, med+ tannins, high alcohol, med+ body, med+ flavor intenstity (flavors similar to aromas), and med finish.
  Very good wine that can drink now but is suitable for aging.
  
  Tasting this wine before dinner and it's pretty good. Drinkable and balanced. I was suprised to see the alcohol % is 15.5 --- very well integrated into the overall structure.
  
  For the price, this is a very solid wine and fantastic value.

  Similar to my first tasting note earlier in the year. Very nice wine. Medium weight with well-balanced savory flavors of mixed red and black fruits. Shared with a friend who enjoyed it very much. Suggest a 30-minute decant.

  Consumed over several days. This bottle was a bit off compared to the last one which I thought was very nice and extremely well balanced. This bottle was just a solid Priorat with mid-palate acidity and the dark fruits were somewhat muted compared to the last bottle. I wonder if it is starting a dormant phase.

  Medium-plus weight, dark, smooth, and extremely well balanced. Has a solid fruit backbone of mixed black and red ripe fruits, blackberry, some blueberry as well as red cherry with light acidity in mid-palate, and a very smooth and reasonably long finish. Ready to drink now. Not overly dry and a very nice drinker on its own. 16% alcohol is well controlled. Good buy in mid $30s.
