Conca de Barberà, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
Tons better than the last bottle. No mold on the cork and seemed a lot younger.
Medium brick to garnet red. A little mute on the nose to start with a touch of earthiness, strawberries, and some spices. Mouthwatering acidity (7/10), moderate tannins (5/10) and light plus to medium bodied. Tart cherries and strawberries on the palate with some dirt and some herbs. Long and dry finish. Has the acidity to go a couple more years. Drink till 2019.

Third vintage we have tried and so far not a fan of the 2005. To start cork was very odd with mold on the top but none on the inside. Medium garnet red with moderate sediment. Interesting and tart nose with lots of strawberries, red cherries, slightly dirty, petrol and some sharp acidic fruit like pineapple. Moderate acidity (7/10) and low tannins (4/10). Very light bodied with bright and light red fruits like cranberries and even some soft prunes. Very dry medium plus finish. Hopefully this is just an off bottle. Seems a bit tired and old. Drink till 2018.

We drank the 05, and I'm now on a mission to find more of this wine. Drinking so beautifully right now.
