Had 3 bottles...the first of 3 was fantastic!..the others presented well past their prime. Slight browning on the edges of a deep, non-translucent garnet; overripe cherry and blackberry on the nose followed by heavy pepper and cedar; almost port-like on the palette and some heat on the finish showing the 14% alcohol (or more...). The first bottle was great, and I was really excited to share the other 2 and was thinking of finding more while available, but bottles 2 and 3 have me moving on,
Good quality with some pleasant attributes. ~50% Grenache ~20% Carignan ~20% Cabernet Sauvignon ~10% Syrah 9 yrs. 14.0 ABV El Ramon // Bellmunt del Priorat / Priorat / Catalunya PC $$ WVR 16.21 | Somewhat overpriced for what it offers.

Started with a slightly stewed note in the background. Then with lasagna, that disappeared and it became balanced with stewed cherries
