Wasn't expecting too much, but this held up nicely. Well-aged priorat, with plum and blackberry, some chocolate and earth on the back end. 14,5% ABV. The structure is beginning to sag a little, with a little bit of a granular mouthfeel, but nothing terribly off putting.

I like this black, inky wine, although it has a distinctive flavor I've never experienced before, and find hard to describe. Something like earth, anise, dirt, grit... how I'd expect India ink to taste. Dark, concentrated, rugged, it should go with game or paella.

Very deep brownish ruby colour. Very fruity and intense cherry and prune aroma and taste. It had light earthy and leathery element. Not so mineral as expected from a Priorat wine. Tannin was solid and muscular. Quite straight forward style. Very nice to drink now.

This wine has held its ground. Rich, complex, ripe but not overripe, deep nose of blackberry with rustic components, but exotic as well.

I found it somewhat rustic. However, several people, including my wife, liked it.
