Dusty, rocky nose, with a dash of prunes, maybe a little oxidation, or just the intense minerality? Masculine, structured, slate, herbal. Medicinal cherry, dried flowers, and piercing acidity. Powerful juice that held our interest to the last drop.

La primera añada de un vino mágico, uno de los grandes del Priorat. Granate con ribete abierto. Nariz tradicional, especiados, toques de fruta roja madura, algún matiz licoroso, monte bajo, acetaldehídos, laca de uñas. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, bien de acidez, con estructura media, racial, estructura y persistente. Un sorbito de la historia del Priorat moderno.

Dark earthy big broad shouldered black fruit driven aromas. Ripe yet tense black cherry flavors dominate. Spice and acid driven qualities keep it sleek. Nice ying & yang quality between sweet & sour. In nice place, just a touch hard making it slightly rustic. Long black spice finish.

Full bodied, dark black and purple fruit, earth, spice and pepper, this wine was delicious and is just approaching its peak. Followed a 1998 Sabon cuvee prestige chateauneuf du pape, it was a worth successor.

Delicious dark, black fruit, mineral, graphite flavors, medium bodied, nice texture and balance. At its peak!
