  Ripe, spicy black fruit. Yes, like blackberry puree with a touch of cranberry. Delicious with lamb. The tannin is ripe and fully mature and integrated with the fruit. Complex, luscious and fully mature but not far from its peak. This was #3 of 3 clos figuera I bought as an anniversary wine and the best of the three. Just as enjoyable 2nd day as first open suggesting a stable maturity.

  Decanted about an hour, nose of purple fruits and some smokiness. More impressive and nuanced on the palate, prune or peppered plum, a certain earthiness, smoke/tobacco. Tannins have smoothed out, nice finish, smooth and rich.

  Opened 2 hours but not decanted. Nose of prunes and smoke/oak. Frankly the nose was a big "eh". The palate is far more interesting. The fruit is ripe but not overly so. The fruit tones seem brighter and less pruney. There is certainly an element of earth here, and balanced oak as well. Raspsberry jam and cedar, and acidity to be useful at the table. There is still a tannic edge, so consider that going forward.

  Decanted 30 mins ahead of dinner. Deep red in glass. Immediate rich aged plummy fruit, earth, a bit of tar on nose and palate. Opened up throughout meal. Good acid underpinnings, and a welcome layer of fresher fruit with slight sweetness, that made the wine notable. Quite smooth. More tannin crept in and freshness dissipated a bit. Moderate long finish.

  This is the last of 3 bottles. It's not a bad wine, in fact, for Priorat it's a pretty fair expression. I just don't like Priorat. Reminds me of Amarone. They are so hot and extracted. Taste like a "AA" CDP where CDP is the major leagues. I would rather pay $10-$15 for a young, fruity Montsant than $30 for this. Just not my style.
