Decanted for 2 hours. Color almost yellow and looked a bit like cider. Nose weak from the start. Tasted really nice. Flavors of ripe grape and tangerines. Big taste with nice balance and a soft finish that lasted.

This is a middle of the road champagne. Decent taste, decent finish, quite good balance. It is not at all flawed, rather quite good. But it is also utterly anonomys and hard to distinguish.

Intially weak on the nose. Vivid colour with an orange tint. Taste initally thin and almost watery but with a sharp acidious finish. Taste of grape and oranges. With time and air the taste gor more body and therefore grew more interesting.

Solid wine. Taste of berries with earthy tones. A lot of tannins and power without going overboard. Medium finish with a nice feel to it.

Very nice wine. Nose a bit shy on the start since we had not time for decanting. Taste of earth, soil and sun. Mix in some dark berries and you have a very grounded wine. Some bitterness and reallt thick with tannins. Good and quite long finish. Will buy more.

Decanted for about 4 hours. Very dark on the color, almost purple. Nose "normal" in strength. But when drinking it was power from first second and then on ever after. This is a sheer power wine with full on attack. Taste of cassis and alcohol. It is well balanced but still quite strong in alcohol and tannins. What it lacks in minearlity or similar vielles vignes taste it makes up for plentifold by its shear raw attitude.

Popped and poured which made it shy on the nose. Taste instant and - Oboy! Rich and powerful, this is a BIG wine. Finish is really nice but not as long as expected. Taste is of black currant woth almost turns into jam or as another taster said - burnt fudge. Good wine and cnsidering the price it turns spectacular.

Not as tannic as other priorats and also with a nice hint of vanilla. But it still had the power and style. Dark berries and stone. Medium long finish.

Stones. Power. Blackberries. Tannins. In short: damn good priorat.

Quite light color and almost see-through. Taste more typical grenache but it needs more air before than we gave it. Therefore the start was promising but still a bit shy. After a couple of hours it opened up.

Taste of fark berries and typical french earthiness. Not so tannic and quite wellbalanced.

This one was bought in Spain and had a different label than the ones sold here in Sweden. According to the cooperatives homepage they have only one wine - with the spanish label.

The wine was a bit weak on the nose but we popped and poured. The taste was fresh and direct. Quite mineral taste with typical priorat style of black berries. Not that powerful as some others but still very good.

Weak start on the nose. Taste really nice. Fresh blue berries in a rough rhone style. Some tannins and a light bitterness in the finish. Only downer was that the wine was somewhat watery.

Friday in Cph. Radio and Bibendum. (Copenhagen): Nose of red forest berries, like lingon berries. Taste of mineral with a powrful "bite". Feels at the back of the cheeks in an odd way. Also quite peppery. Then the fruits set in, black berries and other dark forest fruit. Sharp finish.

d: lingon s: mineral, pepparton, beskt bett med mycket bak i kinderna. Skogsbör typ björnbär. Rivigt avslut

Friday in Cph. Radio and Bibendum. (Copenhagen): As a starter. What a champagne. Big volume from the first sip. Power and elegance combined. 80% Pinot Noir really shines through. Taste of oranges and bread, with a long powerful finish with a floral palate.

Sharp as a razor. really focused non dosage wine. Shows afetr the razor a grapey taste with mineral flavors and good depth. The finish is nice and opens up. More air and time gave it more depth when it softened. Really good.

Usually I am a big Montirius fan, but this wine does not cut it. Floral on the nose with some minerals, so far so good. But then when I taste it evrything falls apart. The wine has a strange combination of sharp acidity with a part watery taste. It is almost good but the balance is wrong. Perhaps better with air or aging. It is still a good wine due to the sharpness of the acidity and the long finish but it is not the usual homerun from this excellent vineyard.

Popped and poured which lead to a really weak nose, almost nothing. But the taste - oyeah - really powerful from the first sip. Blue berries grown in rock and pebbles. Good tannins that and a powerful finish. Will instantly order at least 5 more.
