  April 22, 2024 - One of the best producers in Priorat, very good vintage - 92 points (Outstanding. Early maturing and accessible), Priorat is Priorat.
  Let's see.
  2 hours in the decanter.
  Lovely, lovely aromas! Strong smell of cassis! What else? Vanilla, minerals, herbs, graphite, smoke, blueberry.
  Taste? Big disappointment. Watery texture, diluted flavors. Big contrast between top notch aromas and so-so flavors. A lot of red cherries and herbs. Red currant, raspberry, orange. All of it would be great, but it's weak and chaotic.
  Soft acidity and tannins. No - name finish.
  I don't know why this wine is "no- name" wine, but I feel like I drunk Welch's grape juice 😱
  Too old or what?

  November 6, 2023 - Needs time, at least 2 years more. Good nose where I could not add to what other reviews have described, palate is where you notice it’s not ready with fine tannins that still are not fully integrated. However after a really long decant of 6 hours, palate softened and gave a pleasant experience although with hints that it can get better with time. Indeed it continued to improve in the glasses even after 6 hours in decanter so It shows the structure to age in a good manner. I would wait….but I understand that at this price point and at 8 years after vintage one can have doubts about waiting more years, which is something many reserve for expensive bottles, so my advice then would be to give it a really long decant (next time I would put no less than 7 hours) if you don’t want to wait.

  August 8, 2021 - Nose is dominated by ripe fruit and a hint of vanilla. More ripe cherry and plum on the palate making this a touch sweet. Alcohol started to feel more integrated when combined with food (burgers), but it was fairly noticeable initially. Nice acidity that provides balance and that I generally have come to enjoy in Spanish wines. Dry fine tannins. Wine definitely got better over the course of the six hours that I tasted it so decanting is recommended here. First of four bottles and will wait a couple of years before popping the next one. My first experience with Priorat and it won’t be the last. 91-92
