Concentrated fruit with layers of flavors. Soft tannins with structure still present. Spicy with vanilla notes. Love it — 8 years ago
Delicious, smooth, has fruit and acidity but not overpowering. Paired wonderfully with a spicy meal. Reasonably priced for Priorat. Decant before drinking. — 9 years ago
Fujioka $21. Great with steak or prime rib. Not a heavy red. Can drink on its own. — 9 years ago

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

Cracked the 2010. Still young but really good. Not shut down or reticent like other reviews I read. Epic Sangiovese. — 9 years ago
