Great wine indeed. Nose is complex, camphor, dry amarena cherry, some flint, no oxidation not fading on this bottle yet.
On the palate, Fruit is gone for this bottle, wine is dominated by its tannic structure that is on the dry side, almost austere. I was expecting a fleshier, mellower tannin. Dry herbs, dry raisins, cherry again.
Long finish, good acidity that’s keeps the wine alive and well going.
Mitigate the intensity with proteins and juice/sauce.
Osso bucco with prunes will work. We did Fiorentina and it was ok. The crust and smokiness did not help, over exhibiting the dryness of tannins. — 8 years ago

Nice value Priorat. Dark in color, nice oxidative rustic nose of crushed dried flower petals, clove, brown sugar, and plums. Palate has a touch of Brett, depth and concentration but also a lively acidity most likely from the Carignan. Medium tannins, medium (+) body, and alcohol is a bit pronounced. Some earthy, mushroomy funk on the palate. Not a bad bottle at all, but not sure it should fetch the $30 price point it goes for. Maybe $20 is more appropriate. — 8 years ago
