We pnp'd at lunch. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, plums, tobacco, hints of spice and smoke that led to a moderately long smooth finish. Still in its youth - I probably should put my remaining bottles away for a few years as I still have 05's, 07's and 08's to drink.

Deep dark very ripe fruit, intense wet stones and delicate Mediterranean herbs. Tannins are finer than I expected and acids are refreshing, the alcohol is quite obvious but in perfect balance for the style, this has no unpleasant heat, in my opinion, and fresh ripe fruit shines through long on the finish. There's heft and texture here, but it also feels light and elegant. A testament to, and justification of, the big hype surrounding the "great names" of Priorat, which don't really have much of a track record at this point; this wine is fabulous today. It will continue to drink beautifully, and still has potential to improve. I'm thinking well kept bottles will be far more interesting in 10 or 20 years.

Does not seem old to me. Very aromatic - dark fruit, wood, maybe a touch alcoholic. Full bodied. A touch dry to start, but became fruitier over the course of the evening. Better paired with food
