Finally showing some balance. Rich fruit and excellent tannins. I need more of this one.

Tasty rich dark fruit. Sweet toasty oak and dark spice. Ripe, but not cooked like many monstants ive had. And still a lot of life in this bottle.

Clos d’Englora AV14 is Baronia del Montsant’s top wine, a blend of Garnatxa and Cariñena from very old vines as well as some Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from younger vines planted in the 1990s, aged in oak for 14 months (hence the name, AV14, AV for ancient vines). Balanced expression of Montsant, smoky and mineral, even salty, some strawberry, intense balsamic notes, menthol and nice spicy finish

Killer Wine Night. Lineup of 17 wines. Tasted blind. Theme was Old World Killer “B” (the letter “B” has to be the first letter in one of the proper nouns in the wine e.g., region, varietal, type, winery name, etc.)

Wine 11. Smooth, silky, fruit forward but follows with a lot of tar. The “B” is in Cellers Baronia.

Lots of cherry and cola notes on the nose. Menthol and raspberry. Solid. This is a great wine.

Something funky goin on. Gamey meats, stewed fruits, animal fat. Served at 50degrees tasted good, decanted an hour tasted velvety. Then got real blue cheesy and weird as fuck.
Finishing now, glad I tried. Would buy again...but not to impress connoisseurs

2005: earthy, a little spice, leathery. Had it with eggplant parm, worked well. Low acid, so paired well with the tomato sauce.
