Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club": Priorat (@ My place): Beautiful and complex bouquet with sweet spices, dark berries, a pleasant dose of oak. Same on the palate, juicy and complex, some smoky oak and really delicious and harmonious. Perfectly ready now. Great wine.

Deep, dark toned nose. The plate is dense but years have tamed this beast, black cherries, black olives, oak-spice, smoke, fennel and cassis infused Cabernet Sauvignon elements. Great the way oak has melded into the fruit component, albeit the sweetness is somehow still there. Good fresh acidity and sweet, non obtrusive tannins. Stately and modern but thanks to the age not exactly polished. This sits comfortable on its plateau of maturity and is very enjoyable now.

In a great window. It’s got an expressive nose of dark fruit and some age. Palate still has sufficient refined tannins, with a beautiful blend of fruit cake to it.

Has that great deep fruity funk of an older Grenache for the first handful of hours open. Dark fruits, tar, asphalt and paint, and jammy dark cherries. Still well structured, balanced, layered and complex with a nice long finish. Great wine.

Decanted for an hour and drank over 3. Aromas are a bit muted but rich. BlackBerry, leather, tobacco notes. Tannins and acidity are well-integrated. Really nice. Probably best to drink over the next couple years.
