Deep rich purple in color. Mustiness on open that blew off over 20 minutes. Earth, grilled meat, with a layer of stewed strawberry vanilla on top, the remaining wood component will continue to convert to tertiary flavors with additional age. Dry with medium acidity, medium plus alcohol, medium plus tannins, with a lengthy finish with a lingering chalky white pepper. This wine is excellent and will improve.

This was my 2nd bottle and review of this wine. The notes are fairly consistent but the mustiness was not present in the first. Interesting.

Spices, pine needless, red berries in the background, some tertiary flavors of oil/tar, soil. Still bright acidity. Well balanced. More later...

Molt bon Priorat, entrada potent, amb cos i llarg regust. Agradable en nas. Els tanins controlats. 60€ at Vinacoteca.
