Solid Priorat. Opened quickly after a short decant to remove sediment. Red plums, mulled wine, and charcoal in the glass. Cranberry sauce, ripe red plums, and a menthol/smoke note in the mouth. Has lost some edginess and verve but still hanging together nicely. Drink now or soon.

Far better than my previous bottle. Still plenty of acid, but balanced with fruit dominated by dark cherry and none of the earlier off notes. Excellent with a pork roast.

Barnyard on the nose blows off with time. Not an attractive wine, fruit and tannins were both in the background letting acids steal the show. Hopefully just an off bottle, I'll try another in a few months.

Grenach-Carignan-Cabernet blend (50%/40%/10%), on the nose ripe black cherries, violets, raspberry, hints of vanilla, the palate is consistent with the nose, oak is present but not in a disturbing manner, sour tones, light spiciness, some mint, flavours of violet get stronger with time is the glass, fruit, tannins and acidity are in good balance, an attractive approachable Priorat which is drinking very nicely now.
