  I can't decide if it is flawed or simply too old, but I think I'll go to the former. The nose, though having some elements of fruit, smells a bit like cork (not really wet cardboard). The palate isn't much better, though there is fine acidity and tannins on the finish. I've had corked bottles that were a lot worse, this one is drinkable, but just barely, which is why I'm hesitating a bit.

  We had this with eggplant casserole on 6/13/11. It had a ripe fragrant bouquet of black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, coffee, cocoa, cinnamon, mineral and spice aromas. The palate was ripe, well integrated and tasty with flavors of sour cherry, plum, blackberry, coffee, cocoa, mineral and spice. My wife said it was "OK"

  Most of the fruit is gone from the nose, which ends up rather closed. Palate is similar to previous notes but with more emphasis on wood and spice and less black fruits. Has it reached its limit ?

  Pepper dominated nose with earthy under tones the palate is rich ripe dark fruit. Well balanced, lush medium bodied.
  
  This wine begins to develop more tannin character after a couple of days in the bottle.

  Encore une fois suprebe vin de semaine, de mieux en mieux ce vin avec le temps. Pourquoi se compliquer la vie à suranalyser le vin quand on peut siroter du beau jus comme ce Los 800!!!
  Quel beau nez typé, bleuets, mures, café et chocolat.
  En bouche, un beau fruit éclatant et des herbes fines comme la coutume des Priorat, belle trame tannique et acidité rafraichissante. Pour le prix difficile à battre, j'adore, tout un RQP !!!
