Mas Martinet, Priorat, Martinet Bru

So rich and concentrated. Will be lovely in 3-5 years.

2018 vintage

Have owned since release and cellared well. All the baby fat and big fruit have dissolved into a very nice mature wine with a lot of complexity. Not everybody's cup of tea for sure. A more modern blend of Priorat varietals with evident local characteristics. Needs 30 min in a decanter. Ready now.

2018 vintage

Interesting blend. Nice wine.

2018 vintage

Very dark purple Ripe, bright black fruit and forest nose Full bodied, rich black fruit, black licorice, long finish with moderate acid that works well with the fruit. Big balanced, good fruit drinking well right now

Janúarsmakk Eðalklúbbsins 2025 (Marbakkabraut 12) : Þetta er eitt ónýtasta vín sem ég hef smakkað. Vínið var mjög skýjað. Gruggugur litur. Í nefi var mjög mikil oxunarlykt. Rancí tónar alveg. Sama var uppi á teningnum í bragðinu. Gersamlega ónýtt vín. Tappinn leit vel út en það var hægt að kreista hann saman mjög auðveldlega.

2005 vintage

Yes. In limited experience this can be hit or miss based on vintage; this is hit. Priorat herbs dialed up, tannins up, llicorella there. Outstanding value. Black fruits, rosemary, licorice, black olives (forgot this has syrah). Bravo. A close, just a little more rough, approximation of wines 3x or more the price.

2018 vintage

Corked, but still drinkable. What a shame because it had all the other characteristics of being an excellent wine.

2018 vintage

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club": Priorat (@ My place) : Red and dark berries as well as sweet spices in the bouquet. On the palate juicy dark berries, some graphite, pleasant oak, good and fresh acidity and a bit grainy tannin which is a bit drying.

2018 vintage

black cherry, blackberry, black licorice, but most importantly a distinct minerality of rock and earth. day 2 is even better

2018 vintage

Rustic, in a good way. In a great spot, I don't think it will improve so drink up.

2018 vintage

Wanted to love this ... thin, funk that needs to blow off, sour cherry and bitterness, short finish, disappointing. Sorry, love the bigger red blends from the region with big fruit and minerality and this is not that. Will try again tomorrow. DAY TWO -- much better. Violets and sour cherry/blackberries, minerals from the slate, fuller mouthfeel and finish. A lighter Priorat than others but decent. Upping rating from 86 to 89.

2018 vintage

Smooth, little acidity, very drinkable.

2018 vintage

Not as much depth as some of the higher priced Priorats, but excellent for the price. Still young, should evolve more with additional time.

2018 vintage

Really opened up the Second night. So drank it to early. Great mouthfeel, well rounded. Sour cherry, some wood. Really enjoyable

2018 vintage

No formal notes. Herbs and sweet spices and soft dark berry fruits. Good acidity. Beautiful , still very youthful wine. 91 – 92+

2018 vintage

lighter body with thin mid palate; diet cola in there; some good fruit with shortish finish except for the syrah-like tannins; did i get a different bottle than the rest of you?

2018 vintage

This is drinking nicely now with a long decant, but really deserves a few more years in the cellar minimum Meaty and leathery aromas, brooding dark fruits, black plums, and wet clay and earth The palate has ripe black raspberry and polished medium tannins Excellent length 91-92

2018 vintage

Leather and meat, black fruits, granite stone, and some smoke, some blue fruit Medium+ body High but silky tannins with some grip at the end Savoury and black fruit palate Excellent length Built to age mid-term, but still enjoyable now

2018 vintage

Unconventional blend, but otherwise straight down the fairway Priorat. Licorella twang, spice dialed up a bit — cinnamon, cloves, peppercorn, rosemary. Maybe due to high % of Syrah? A clear and satisfying sense of place without being a caricature of the style. Will drink again.

2018 vintage

Always very good!

2016 vintage

Aromas of plum, dark cherry, strawberry candy, wild blueberry, blood, petrichor, cinnamon, graphite, thyme, white and purple flowers... this is ripe and flamboyant on the nose, but there is great lift and freshness to it. Complex and velvety on the palate, with layers of ripe fruit, a strong acid line cutting through its richness and supple tannins. Long and composed, with beautiful ripe fruit and mineral nuances lingering. This is top notch. Priorat this good is usually two or three …

2018 vintage

Sara Perez wines with Michel Jamais (At six, Brunkebergstorg) : I felt like that person who prefers the cheapest chocolates in favor of the expensive single estate dark cocoa. This was by far the cheapest wine of the flight except the rosa, but I liked it very much as it was clearly ready to go now, the perfume was less intense and complex but the palate had an inky cabernet style to it leading in to a spicy, soft, garnacha …

2018 vintage

Dark fruit, spice and tannins on first sip. With some air, it opened up a bit with more complex red and black fruits combined with spice. Good, but not great. May have needed more aeration.

2018 vintage

Solid wine for the price

2018 vintage

Mörk, tät färg. Intensiv doft. Kraftfull smak: plommon, tobak, mörka bär. Har lagrats mycket väl under tio år i källaren, dessvärre näst sista flaskan.

2005 vintage

WSET (IWSI) session with Eran Pick (WSET, Jaffa) : Med ruby med+ aromas intensity of dark cherries, roasted plums, cranberries, raspberries, earth, eucalyptus, Developing Dry, high acidity, med+ tannins, high abv, full body, pronounced flavours intensity consistent with the nose, long finish, Can drink now - suitable for further ageing 91

2016 vintage

Aromatic bouquet of red berries, good balance between tannins and acidity, very dark color, good finish, very good wine in this price range, I like it.

2016 vintage

Forkaupasmakk frá Spáni #1 (Marbakkabraut 12) : Ungur litur. Meðaldökkur. Frekar lokað í ilmi. Brennd eik samt. Síðan þegar smakkað á víninu. Súr eins og í súrdeigi. Mjög súrt. Tannískur súrhvalur. Þetta er skemmt! Tappinn á víninu var blautur næstum hálfa leið í gegn! Og þetta er 2016. Ég kaupi ekki meira frá þessu fyrirtæki fyrr en þau hafa lagað tappamálin hjá sér.

2016 vintage

Possibly past it. Ever so slightly vinegary, but it exudes delicious aromas of clove and violets - much more like a Burgundy than a Bordeaux! Thin, but silky and seductive. Remarkable. Possibly not to everybody's taste.

1999 vintage

A sample from a demijohn. Very similar to the 2017 sample of same wine in colour, hue and taste. More matured and tamed though. The fruit in this wine is incredible.

2016 vintage

this was complex, well preserved, with lots of fruit still; might even have lasted another year

2005 vintage

Plum in colour - just a hint of cloudiness; berries and light floral notes on the nose with some forest and eucalyptus; we taste strawberries, cocoa and toast; the wine is light but nicely balanced with a fairly long finish. We love it and have two more bottles in the cellar to pull out in 2014 and 2015.

2005 vintage

Blackberry, briar, some rocks, good acidity. Enjoyed this bottle much more than the previous one. Definitely better on the second night; consumed at a warmer temperature than I would typically like but it was good for that.

2005 vintage

Vegetal nose, red peperonis, levure... in the mouth, tannins present, a bit vegetal

2005 vintage

Alas, put in the score 3 days ago but neglected to finish the note so my recollection is hazy. Very good especially on the second day, it had opened up considerably.

2005 vintage

Very intense in the nose. Red and black berries, nice aok flavor, coffee, a hint of coconut. Full body, good acidity, strong structure. Not so well integrated, ripe finish, mid persistency. Good wine but not my style. Requires more time in bottle.

2005 vintage

A bit tight but with a few hours decanting it opened up. Intense wine with list of fruit. Has kind a weird spice (cloves?) finish. Went well with BBQ chicken and baked bets.

2005 vintage

Pleasant but not a lot of depth

2005 vintage

Better than the last bottle and ready to drink;some nice fresh dark fruit on the nose and a taste that softens quickly and is enjoyable to the last drop;

2005 vintage

Day One. Opened for an hour. Not decanted. Very dark, almost black color! with purple ring for a nice color contrast. You have to be patient with this one, it may take some time. A little bit one dimensional to start, with dark fruit, lots of it. Seems you can bite that flavour. It has medium body and lenght. Tannins are present and enjoyable. It's above average but certainly short of spectacular, however, very easy to drink. Day two. After …

2005 vintage

Whether Spain deserved to win the world cup is up for debate;but when to drink priorat is never in question;not the best we have ever had but felt good tonite

2005 vintage

Ruby red to garnet; bing cherry & faint bluberry- slight minerality, musky. Fantastic Spanish red!

2005 vintage

Dark red. Nice nose cherry and blueberry. Nice blueberry flavours and medium wieght. Not at all over the top. Delicious with enough of everything (tannin, acid) to carry on for 5 or so years.

2005 vintage

Nose: Cherry Taste: Blueberry, chocolate, spice, went well with rack of lamb seasoned with dry herbs.

2005 vintage

Crimson-black; tar, herbs, black cherries, smoke; smokey cherry, glycerin, medium-full body, good balance, good acidity, ripe silky tannins, long finish. Decanted 2 hrs, lots of sediment. Tarry, cherry nose jumped out of the glass. Silky smooth with softer tannins than I expected. Another delicious Spanish red.

2005 vintage

Dark, sweet fruit, dark coffee, a hint of stable aroma's (subsiding after some breathing), exotic spices and some kirsch. Not as hot and sweet as the Vall Llach Embruix, more restrained, but maybe also a bit less stuffing, a bit cheaper even, so probably an even better qpr, as far as Priorat's go.

2005 vintage

Are you sure?
