  October 21, 2020 - 17 yrs old , drank slightly chilled
  Showing nicely . Light red fruit nose
  Mouth - sappy red fruit, possibly a tad confected but very much alive, good minerality, a hint of brown sugar in the finish which has nice framing tannins. Overall fresh and ripe, a style that I think many would like. Drink soonish.

  July 7, 2017 - 2003 ALVARO PALACIOS LES TERRASSES CATALUNYA PRIORAT-made from Carignan [Mazuelo and Cariñena] which outside of Catalunya is mostly used as a blending grape to add colour and weight; this was really fruity with bright and expressive flavours of plum, blackberry and red and black cherry; it was very tasty and had enough acidity to carry it for the long run.

  October 28, 2013 - Weekly tasting group #094; Priorat (@ BS): The bouquet is a bit rustic with red fruits, earth and spiciness. On the palate still a lot of juicy cherries, herbs, fresh acidity and ripe and round but firm tannin. A bit drying in the finish. Lovely wine, ready now and no real hurry.

  February 28, 2013 - This wine really evolved over time, starting with a little funk, pepper and leather and slowly showing more depth and intrigue. It still has some fruit, but the secondary flavors are more apparent, with mineral and savory notes. Drink now.

  January 26, 2013 - Nose of saddle leather and perhaps a bit of Brett. Chocolate, tar, dark berry and still ample tannins. Finishes a bit hot. Drink now.
