This wine seems to have held its own through the years, for me, becoming not worse nor better than it was on release. I just wish I hadn't buried my half-case in the nethers of my wine fridges so that I could have enjoyed my bottles here or there on a weeknights through the years. Clean, balanced, lowish acidity, smooth, black and blue berries with a touch of smoke and wood.

Probably at peak now but no signs of slowing down at all. The wine retains it's original color and freshness. There is still a backbone of slight tannin and minerality that keeps the fruit (and there is plenty of it) sharpish. Raspberries and blueberries dominate on the finish. An exceptional QPR wine.

I'm impressed with the way this wine pulls off a new world fruit-forwardness but retains its own likeable identity, especially given the price point. Very dark garnet. Blackcurrant syrup, oak, smoke, flowers on the nose. Gobs and gobs of blackcurrant and wild cherry candy with a touch of rosewater, cedar cigar box. The rise and fall of the fruit is very nice: powerful, but doesn't just smack you in the face and disappear-- swells up, sustains then exits slowly on …

Earth, grilled meat, florals and dark fruit aromas. Either my palate has changed or this isn't as good as it was three years ago. A touch hot with meaty and jammy notes. Fairly low acid, moderate integrated tannins. I agree this should probably be consumed by the end of its 10th birthday.

Dried fruit flavors and good minerality. Pretty good wine for the price. Don't keep it any longer, it is at its peak.

Cedar, dry dark fruit, mineral. Maybe better on Day 2?

Continues to drink well. Still fresh, dark fruits with black cherry and blackberries and some spice on the finish.

This bottle was better than the last. Full body but smooth, not heavy. Dark fruits come through very nicely and some spices all around. Well balanced and sweet fruit on the finish.. Age does help! Drank with friend at dinner who really liked it.

Decanted for 2 hours. Reticent nose, but some plum fruit, green pepper, and a little alcohol. Upfront tannins, elderberry, and sweet baking spices. Good acidity and a moderate finish.

Intense nose of vanilla and stewed dark fruits. The palate is a mix of chocolate, leather and those dark fruits with a touch of port. The tannins are well integrated and the mouthfeel is smooth. Overall a very pleasant experience, and I would say this wine still has some legs if you can wait.

Good, but quickly deteriorated by the second night. Comparable: Pat Listach.

Same rating as before, this wine has still some potential - after having a glass on day 1 and with the bottle open for 3 days it was still delicious. A bit of an overripe port note is noticeable, but only if you are looking for it. Still very rich and smooth, orange cests, bitte chocolate, some kirsch and almonds with a spicy component (don't ask me what this means, but this is direct brain -> keyboard). Whatever minerality means, …

Smooth drinker, my first Priorat and I am impressed by the great QPR of 10€/bottle. Fruity, rich, elegant, nice tannic structure - simply great. Definite rebuy.

Short decant. Dark purple color. Very fragrant lilacs and blueberry. Full body. Nice tannins that support the fruit and acid very nicely. Really nice dark fruit. Tastes like warm berry pie with a little tobacco on the nice long finish. Alcohol is well integrated. What a great QPR. Will keep my eye open for this wine in the future.
