  a very pretty clear dark reddish to purple in the glass. straight away, cherries, cranberries and spice. and maybe a touch of raisin? ...with some time and air, it warms and darker berries find their way into the mix along with vanilla, and some pleasant woody notes. this is really nice. some sprightly acidity keeps this lively. very enjoyable. absolutely peaking, don't wait on these.

  Bright powerful and elegant. Spicy kick with leather and cacao in the finish. This is a priorat with a flair of Tuscany. I find this wine inconsistent as this bottle is so much better than my last and this one displays all the good stuff i like about this wine.

  PnP, could have done with some time as it showed better a couple glasses in. Good structure. Time to drink.

  Very dark ruby. A bit grainy of sediment. The nose hints over mature black fruit and fig plum. Taste is pleasant but there is a sweet raisin touch that tells me drink sooner rather than later. Full mouth of dark plum and black berries. Long smooth finish.

  Acid and bitter nose. Very dark color almost black, aerated to pour in glass. Over ripe, past maturity. lots of sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Second night, this rounded out a bit but overall I didn't like it
