Meaty, bloody, wild animal nose, maybe a little horse leather. Crystallized cherry, earth, slate, mature tannin. Still has plenty of structure and muscularity. Beautiful fruit. At apogee, terrific.

Dark and concentrated berry notes with aromatics of leather and earth. Rich black cherry, with tobacco layers, some characteristic Priorat menerality and a long finish with good tannic structure.

This one was flawed ... too bad as it was the last of a handful that I purchased. Given the age I opened the previous one just a few weeks ago and it was singing.

Second of two bottles, ten or eleven years after the first. Took over three hours on pnp to open up over the course of glasses. But comfortably worth the wait. Honestly at first I thought it was over the hill but it awoke.
The personality of pink neon on a black night. Then a camp fire; sienna. Again against something vast as the stars. Flavors: like the ideal thick, medium-rare+ grilled new york strip. So juicy. Meaty. Radiating corona of a finish.

(Rotllan Torra Priorat Tirant) Very dark garnet red color; big berry, black cherry, black raspberry, baked berry nose; nice baked berry, oak, caramel palate, lacking acidity; medium finish
(TIRANT Rotllan Torra) Late Dear Friends, A few deals arrived late tonight that are quite interesting - all are worth a look but they are not for the shy. These are full-impact wines but they have eccentricities and a unique character that separates them from the norm. All are directly from the source with perfect provenance: 1999 Tenuta di Trenoro (Toscana) IGT(AG90) 2003 Rotllan Torra Tirant (Priorat) 1.5lt Quite rare in this format - one of the more regal wines coming out of Priorat... 2005 L & A Lignier Morey-St-Denis "Les Chaffots" 375ml (BH89-92) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy8699 Spain9820 Burg7055
