Dark as the deepest depths of Mordor. Volcanic ash, bing cherries, cocoa, umami, rose petals, forrest leaves. Powerful tannins and great acidicy. When it opens up, more of the brighter berries comes out, like ripe raspberries. Captivating. Wish I could try an older vintage. — 11 years ago

Purchased just after release at the celler after a great tasting with Pere and his daughter Maria.
Made from 80 years old Cariñena and Garnacha 50/50 blend.
Great nose with black and blue berries, plums, a touch vanilla, authum forrest, spices from the Porrea hills, drinking this wine 8 times over the last 10 years and is now fully mature the hard edges are gone and has mellowed out, still full bodied, well balanced and smooth tannins, nice mineral touch, long aftertaste..... Sadly my last bottle of this 2000 vintage..... — 11 years ago
Earth driven wine, pottery soil, pea tendrils, mushrooms, forrest floor, black pepper, dried blackberry. Excellent acidity, medium bodied, slight dusty tannin finish. — 11 years ago
Reminds me of a Mountain Bike ride during the fall in Park City. Decaying Forrest floor, dried leaves, lavender, violets. Red and blue fruits, allspice, beautiful (yet) heavy integration of oak, persistent finish. Best wine I've tasted this year (Feb 21, '14) — 12 years ago
Sometimes its all in the dirt. Forrest floor, mushroom, and a pepper finish. It tastes like the land of old. — 11 years ago
Dried blackberries, dark plum, black currants, cassis, tobacco, smoke, wet forrest, cigar box, clay, barnyard. Excellent acid and velvet tannin structure. Incredibly long earthy finish. — 11 years ago
