On the nose I'm getting blackberry, BBQ potato chips, smoked meat, dark cherry candy. Body is nicely balanced/smooth, med+ body. Very nice wine.

Oxidative winemaking, blackberry fruit. Lean and very ripe at the same time. Dried fruit.

Just as bit thin to be classic for Priorat. Is this the new wave?!?

Really like the mouth feel. Not a whole lot of complexity, but the black slate really shines through.

Mediocre wishy-washy Grenache.

6/24/16, at apt watching movie. Plum nose, well balanced but the complexity and fruit just isn't there. Forgettable finish.

At 14.5% some hotness is to be expected, but not such "softness". Light, an easy drinker. Awesome price-quality ratio

Still on the lookout for a Priorat that I love. Decent with pizza, but I didn't think it had much taste.

Smooth, tastes like Black Slate. Not super complex but a crowd pleaser.
