Montsant, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
So incredibly young for 12 years old. A crazy blend of Red Grenache, Monestrell, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Tempranillo. Beautiful dark burgundy color, spicy, woody, and juicy in character. $30? You don't get wine like that often.

Quite seductive and substantial. Smooth with dark fruit overtones. Very much worth the price tag.

Has aged nicely - fruit still nicely prominent, but well-integrated structure #Baronia #Montsant #2001

Oct 23rd, 20132001 vintage drinking super smooth like nothing else I've ever had. Dried red and black fruit with a creaminess on the palate that was quite enjoyable. Surprising amount of fruit and has certainly aged well. Quite a lot of alcohol in this one too but overall a solid pick!

I could not tell if the nose had more plum than blackberry or vice versa. But I can say blueberries won out on the palate. There was some dirty rock as well and a touch of spice that lingered for a while. Overall average to me. It did have some nice touches, may have better with food.

Wine definitely opened up more at the 2 hr mark of aeration. Served with skirt steak. Great compliment.

Not fantastic - many of the fruit flavors seem to have died off, and the spiciness seems a little brittle and muted. Clearly past maturity but still easy to drink.
