  Wow! First sip and huge explosion in my mouth!
  There is no secret, especially here, that I drunk so many wines, but this is the first time I experienced something like this. Big bang with spice, tabacco, coffee, cocoa, mocca, blackberry, vanilla. That's enough.
  Man, this hits your tongue with power and strength, but same time is lovely, intrigued, addictive. Long finish with grippy tannins. Acidity is perfectly blended.
  Why not 5 ⭐? Smell doesn't match the taste. It's nice but not strong.
  Nice raspberry, strawberry and cedar smell. No complaining, but it is too much contrast between taste muscles and fragility of smell.

  First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): Served Blind.
  Concentrated savoury red and black hued fruits; plums, sweet spice on the nose. In the mouth it has medium plus intensity acidity, chalky tannins which prove quite tight & mineral to the detriment of the fruit unfortunately.
  I went with Priorat, 2018, grenache blend
