Not familiar with this producer. At first, there was some funk it needed to blow off...little bit of Brett, even a touch of VA. Finally some old plum, smoked fig and cherry tobacco leaves arrived. Fairly light bodied and bright on the palate...medium acidity, black cherry flesh, sage and herbal spice on the palate. Thanks @Bradley Davis

I want to say this is peaking now @ 16 years. Cassis, bramble fruit and this distinctive dusty-earthy spiciness + wet slate on the nose that’s a hallmark of the #priorat DOQ. Primary fruit on the palate is evolving, touch of caramel under that black/purple berry, delightfully peppery spicy finish that lingers for ages trailing off with supremely soft tannins. Nice bottle to share with my wife as an early 16th anniversary treat.
