  Slightly bitter bouquet … strong woody tannin smell
  
  On the palate pleasantly sweet beginning raspberry and blackberried but quickly followed by similar flavours like the bouquet…
  
  Drinks better than it smells now but for the age slightly disappointing maybe not one for longer aging.

  Truly a delicious wine. Drinking beautifully right now. Bright, red fruit forward with secondary characteristics of slate. Tannins relatively smooth by now. Great mouthfeel - robust yet simultaneously smooth with a long finish that is both mineral and fruity.

  Rich, red fruit, slightly sweet, vanilla. gentle spices. Medium bodied which didn't quite suit the nose, which was fuller. Good but rather unremarkable.

  good color. Some tannins at first, which was a surprise, but softened after 30 minutes. Fruit forward, vanilla and berries lingering. Quite smooth.

  Not a bad everyday wine, but I wish it was less astringent/green on the finish. Anyone familiar with Priorat would pick it blind as Garnacha-based from that region. It's got that deep red/black, expressive fruit and spice up front, but the front half is better than the back half.
