  Mature with an abundance of oak spices, though well balanced, with dark fruit, flowers, and petrol. Some heat on the nose, but is plush on entry, mouth-coating, exuding pepper and Mediterranean spices and herbs culminating in a tart earthy finish. I am very fond of Priorat wines and this is a good old-school producer from there, whose wines rarely make their way into the US. I have seen this particular vintage sell in Europe for quarter k, but purchased a few in the US on auction for $50, which is quite the bargain. Very good quality here in a classical style for mature folk. Probably best to enjoy these now and over the next few years.

  Complex and smooth. Okay to drink in 2021.

  Very slightly dusty, aged, nose. Floral, jasmine, tar, bergamot. High toned, resolved. Easy, highly drinkable. Very good now. Time to drink. 13.5%.

  Seems still a bit monolithic. Not sure what will happen in next ten years.
