Ripe fruity and spicy nose with also some chocolate. Very rich mouth. Mature tannins, finishes as chocolate covered cherries. No longer has any impression of elegance that I seem to have gotten from it many years ago.

Deep ruby red in the glass. Typical Old World nose reflecting terroir and production methods nicely - aromas of wet soil, marzipan, cooked plum, blackberry jam and cedar. Smooth palate with a creamy texture and medium, ripe tannins. The hot alcohol jumps out all the way into the finish and mixes with the slight splash of VA. All in all, if you're not an experienced wine drinker, this will all be imperceptible, especially if paired with a nice piece of …

Cherry nose, surprisingly higher pitched than I was expecting. Good mouth feel. Pleasant acidity with a long finish. Usually I'm sensitive to heat, but not sensing it here despite the 15% ABV. Not a particularly complex wine, but everything is well balanced, and even a bit more elegant than I was expecting, particularly in the nose. Still, a bit pricey for what it delivers.

Dark garnet. Ripe and evolved with jammy blackberry fruit and intense sweet spices (clove, cinnamon). Full-bodieded, dense and creamy-textured with noticeable heat from 15.5% alcohol, medium acidity and a long aftertaste. Drink soon.

One-dimensional; fruit tired and uninspiring with elements not synchronizing. Eilther I'm having a bad day or this wine is. Dumb stage for one of us.

A big wine with deep colours, scents, and flavours. Heady nose of cooked red and black fruits, but not confected. Some savoury notes, with some anise, spice, chocolate, and violets. Palate is quite similar to the nose, good acidity and reasonable tannins, though the finish was a bit disappointing compared to the rest. Lovely wine, though I feel a certainly complexity is lacking. Uncertain as to ageing potential.

Pas aussi bon que le 2006 mais bien dans l'ensemble...un peu capiteux en ce moment!

Deep ruby core, slight pinkish rim. Youthful. On the nose, ripe red and dark fruit, vanilla, oak, caramel, dark chocolate, meaty note. On the palate, similar to the nose with baking spice, such as clove, cinnamon, licorice. Valvety tannins that have softened quite a bit since last time I tasted in 2010. Smooth, well balanced and elegant. Good price to quality ratio. At peak. Drink within 3 to 5.

Dark red, nose of berry & spice quite heavy & jammy, a bit of heat on the finish. After a couple of hours it had smoothed out, the heat disappeared & was a much better drink

Lots of dark fruit on this one - a sold effort maybe lacking a bit on the finish.

Good clean nose. Taste kinda "luxurious" with some, but not too much, toastiness from the oak, dark fruit and some menthol in the finish. Great smoothness in the mouth. The alcohol reveals itself as the temperature rises, so don't serve it too warm. Probably needs food to show it's best, worked well with steak and salad.

Really nice bottle. Full bodied with a very silky mouthfeel. Can definitely taste the fruit, but wouldn't say it's fruit forward. At 15%, it's a bit alcoholic but has a nice leanness to it that the alcohol content wouldn't suggest.

Dark red, slightly transparent color. Dark fruits, scorched earthiness, toasted oak and light jammy tones in the nose. On the palate the wine is dry, juicy and rich with ripe, sunny dark fruits, a touch of leather, sweet spicy tones, alcohol warmth and some elegant oak which introduces a hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied and balanced overall feel. Lacking a little bit on the acid side, but is nevertheless pretty good in balance with the slightly lighter-than-normal-Priorat body. A lengthy and …

La robe est pourpre. Le nez de ce vin est assez intense sur les petits fruits noirs et rouges, des notes vanillées, pointes d'épices. En bouche, la texture est superbe, sensation de craie en bouche, belle fraîcheur, se boit très bien en ce moment et la finale est très agréable. Vaut amplement les dollars exigés! 91-92.

dark cherry nose, light spice added to cherry when tasted. Nice mild tannins. Not terribly complex, but good for a Monday night.

Wijncursus Les 4 (Bij de lokale Vinoloog) : uitsmijter van deze les. Uiterlijk: Donkerrood, intense kleur. Zuivere geur, middelintens fruitig. Smaak: Vrij intens, complex geheel, mooi rond, licht zoet fruitig. Verloopt langzaam naar zuur. Mooie lange afdronk. Mooie wijn, maar voor dit bedrag mis ik het speciale.

Peu de notes prises, sinon un nez très "grenache", assez expréssif sur des notes de réglisses, de mûres, et de café au lait. En bouche, l'ensemble est assez soyeux avec des tannins en retrait mais globalement l'alcool ressort trop.

Awesome, powerful and intense wine, reminded me a bit of a high-end Zin with it's extreme berry fruit and high alc. (a touch off balance at this point and needs time) - Dark, well concentrated with a nose of blackfruit, blueberry, boisson berry, cranberry, plum, cherry and vanilla, intense, needs time, quite complex/interesting, sweet, sour on the palate with terrific length, excellent (91 Points).
