I made a comment about "high-octane fuel" a little earlier, and based on the aromatics, prototypically, this is it.
Aromas of syrop du cassis, rich black fruits and anise prepare the palette for what is to come. The experience in the mouth does not disappoint. It's plump with a luscious mouthfeel. Not overly done. It's heavily extracted, but still presents harmoniously with bright acidity, tannins that fight back and 14.8% abv. Hints of coffee, jam compote and nutmeg finish with power, yet subtlety.
This is my first taste of their cab, and PM have again jammed a quart into a pint pot.
On a different topic, America, please join the rest of the progressive nations and use the metric system. There, I feel better already.

Jack & Arden put together a wonderful evening of delicious food and great wines, and a few of us attendees contributed some bottles to enjoy as well. Great night!

The epitome of full throttle. Buckle up and hold on. Like rocket fuel! Baked blue and black fruit pie and dark cocoa shavings on the nose. High octane on the palate, with a chocolate a-la-mode and creme de cassis finish. Very cool @Benjamin Keator — 7 years ago

Exceptional wine! Petroleum, lanolin, & yellow apples on the nose. Sweet, sugary notes of crisp yellow apples, Pink Lady apples, pollen, subtle white flower, some lamp fuel, & honey. Dessert, but so easy to sip on this breezy, cool, late summer afternoon. — 7 years ago

After trying the 2014 in 🇪🇸 we grabbed this truly unique wine @ €56 from the winery 😁 2015 consistently the similar to 14 😉 but seemed a touch creamier, exotic & dryer 👍 Another White Priorat that white Tondonia & Musar lovers will salivate over 😍

This was one of those moments when you taste something clearly a cut above. I opened this for Father’s Day and was not disappointed… Aging wonderfully, the Merlot and Cab Sauv driven cigarette boat has plenty of fuel left in the tank. Deeply concentrated, the core of dark cherry is layered with exotic spices and forrest botany. Plenty of mountain to get lost on ;) — 7 years ago
