Complex with earth, herbaceousness, pipe tobacco, blackberry and boysenberry. High level of tannins. Delish but needs time.

Too much fruit. Too little complexity and sophistication. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

Super ripe blackness and blueness with a big dose of oak. I can smell the rocks on the steep hillside vineyards of the Priorat.

I love this wine. Every year. Spicy dark fruits, tiny amount of bitter mocha, tobacco-ish hints, lots of texture but not too much earth (not for me anyway). Surprised me at how young it still tastes. If you get one get a second to lie down a few years. Goes with most food and any person who drinks dry reds should fall in love. Old and new world fans alike will. #crowdpleaser #priorat #livesuptohype

Really pretty and delicious, but I wanted a little more structure.
