This is a highly aromatic, moderately concentrated young wine with lively spicy aromatics and classic notes of garnacha negra. While it was a bit heavy initially, it softened quickly with aeration and held together over three days. While it is still quite young and has at least a decade or more of life left, it was a pleasure to drink at this stage of its evolution. I am looking forward to my next bottle in a few years.

I would agree this is ready, but certainly has plenty of development ahead. Two hour decant, but it was still quite a robust beast. Fairly vibrant meniscus for the age. Nose of saddle leather, coal dust, fresh blood, and heaps of black fruits and olives. There is a chewiness to this, but also a bit of fat on the edges. Somehow it never feels too big for its britches though. Can really stand up to huge dishes beautifully.

After loving this wine a year ago, this bottle seemed a little pruny...

Brilliant ruby color. Nose of tobacco, bramble, menthol, and a bit of alcohol. Bright red fruit core of flavor, crisp tannins, and a long finish. Ready, but in no hurry

PNP, grading up for what a little air would have done. Good call on the previous note with eucalyptus, as well as earth, dust, perhaps licorice. Still fairly tannic, young. Nice.

Boy did this benefit from some age. Supple and open, good complexity, but refreshing. Still a touch of garnacha spice on the finish, maybe even from alcohol, but overall felt integrated. Delicious

Wonderful cherry. Eucalyptus. Good length and perfect acidity uplift. 93+

2015 vintage

Medium red ruby color. From young vine blend of Garnacha and Cariñena. Very perfumed, fresh, elegant nose of dark cherry, red flowers. Fine earthiness, tannin, smooth texture. Great MFV.

Had some cinnamon notes

Pnp and solid from get go, especially surprising for how young it is. Delicious wine in the distinctly Priorat way: gorgeous aromatics, even with a eucalyptus or juniper note that went great with decorating the Christmas tree. If I had to guess, its 50/50 Grenache and Carignan. Didn't take formal notes but this was very enjoyable and great value.

Very delicious, licorice, red fruits, slightly savory, reminded me of a CDP.

Wonderful balance. Great food wine. Has time left but my guess is that it will not improve significantly. It is really good right now after two hours of air.

2015 vintage

This is blend of Garnacha and Carinera. Quite deep but fresh and well balanced. Fine and elegant on palate.

2015 vintage

Wow! What a nose! Barnyard and leather, hay and menthol, gorgeous aromatics, could just sniff this baby for hours. Nice silky mouthfeel with some oak and tannin noticeably present but nicely done. Black fruits and vanilla, cedar and cigar with a rememberable drying finish. This is really nice and great with the charcuterie and cheese plate. Will only improve with some more bottle age but singing right out of the gate now!

Gorgeous, drinking great now, benefits from serving at a cooler temp.

2015 vintage

Astoundingly elegant. A beautiful display of biodynamic, terroir wine. Drinking well now. Can keep a few more years.

Decanted for several hours. From memory, this bottle displayed soaring red and blue fruit with backbone accompanied by a strong core of acid. At the moment it is a walk on the wild side, but in time it should easily outperform its price tag.

2015 vintage

Purple dark red, delicious acidity, citrus like tingy with minerals, powerful, complex mid palate, dark fruits, wild strawberry, earthy tone, tannins is obvious but skill smooth, lovely after taste, nice and clean.

2015 vintage

Continues to drink very well after a two hour decant. Excellent balance.

2015 vintage

Lacking depth on the midpalate and the fruit quality was not all the striking. I decanted in bottle, peak was seen at around the 2 hour mark. On the palate, I was getting plum skins, red apple skins, dried cherries, white marble and hints of smokiness. Not delicious but enjoyable. Came together much better on the second day. Gained depth and concentration. Wine is fascinating. Needs time in bottle.

2015 vintage

Good fruit and depth, round finish, good balance

2015 vintage

This appears to need more time or a decant. Very tight on PnP. After about an hour in the glass, reticent but pure dark berry fruits seemed to emerge with enough acidity to carry it through. The finish is youthful, with a load of bitter tannin, earthiness, and some alcoholic astringency. Some pleasure today, but I'm hoping this will come around. Open the last bottle of 2 purchased in 2-3 years.

The nose was dark and complex, opening with a whiff of moist black soil tones and animal musk, which were quickly complicated by herbal notes of rosemary, mint, and bay, as balsamic-spiced black cherry emerged from within. On the palate, a wave of silky textures were ushered across the senses by zesty acidity, along with tart-tart raspberry fruit, savory herbs, minerals and hints of grippy tannin which seemed to saturate everything they touched. The finish was long, tart, and tannic, …

Excellent after a one hour decant. Earth, herbs, and underbrush notes on a feisty nose and entry. Excellent balance. Great fruit on the palate, in balance, clean finish. The Carignane prevents the Grenache notes from dominating, a nice balance. A wine of vibrant personality. has time left but is drinking very well right now. Bats above its price point.

2015 vintage

The nose showed a mix of blackberry and spiced cherry, with mint leaf, dark soil tones and stone dust. On the palate, I found silky textures offset by tart raspberry tones with balsamic spice and minerals, as a concentration of tart red fruit seemed to coat the senses, leaving hints of tannin and sweet spice to linger. The finish was long and spicy with remnants of savory herbs and balsamics. This is simply gorgeous, especially at this price point.
