Had this wine 18 months ago and sadly it's not get any better.. It's all about sweet red fruit and not a lot else. One thing I do have to commend it for is it worked well with Goan chicken curry with chorizo, the sweetness of the fruit worked very well with the spice of the food.

Dark ruby, watery rim. Red fruit dominates, raspberry and plum jams on the nose. fresh redcurrant fruit to taste but I can't see beyond this. A bit disappointing, expecting more.

Inky dark. Dark berries and cedar on the nose. Much better integrated on the palate than the last bottle 3 years ago. a touch of olive / meat, and seemingly just a touch hot on the back of the throat. A bit one dimensional and uncomplicated, but the general impression is a good one. WS indicates a "drink by" of 2010. While I wouldn't hold these for real long, they should carry for another 12 months minimum.

Priorats / Champagne - A Solo Vino Homework Assignment (Lake Elmo): Very pleasant. Needs a bit of time to open up, as it's rather acidic and tangy right after the pop. Interesting nose with a lot of stuff I can't place....generally speaking dark fruit, a little wood, maybe a touch reticent in terms of aromatic power. On the palate, some depth gets added and the acidity rounds out...medium bodied. Searching for some cedar box, and its there in the background but quite faint. A nice wine without much pretense. Better with food than as a sipper.
