Shy on the nose. Tastes stewed cherries and cassis. Velvet mouth feel. Vanilla notes, some green herbal too. Not very long finish. Could evolve a bit over some open time.

This Priorat still has a lot of life left and still needs time to open. A bit pruny at first, but after 2 hours, opened nicely and is well balanced and quite enjoyable. Long finish.

This wine needs to open up, but when it does, it is great (2 - 2.5 hours). At first, a bit too astringent, but still appealing. The mouth feel was very smooth and the taste balanced, with a dark fruit flavor with overtones of resin, leather, maybe a vanilla spice. Then the taste changes into a more complex, tannic burst of flavors - complex and nice. I really like this wine, and am going to try to find more. Great QPR - just let it open.

Apparence rouge violacé avec une opacité moyenne Nez de bleuets et de vanille Bonne tenue en milieu de bouche sans être gras, tanins discrets, similitude avec un merlot. Après 24 heures, l'alcool (15%) ne domine pas les flaveurs de bleuets et de pâtisseries. Original et agréable

I let this cellar too long - it has turned to overly sweet, bland wine.
