It’s just an incredible wine! There is so much said about this gem that I will not even be crucified! Just telling: must to seek and buy and drink slowly, savoring every sip as the Gods of Olympus savored the nectar. I would ask the manufacturer if Dionysius does not come to him in dreams and blurts out divine secrets? And if seriously, it will be difficult to assess the other reds from the Priorat after such a first experience! Fantastic wine!
Full on blackberry, chocolate, and cedar notes on the nose with a faint medicinal tinge. The wine delivers incredible velvety delicacy right from the start. It leads into light cherry flavors that darken as the wine evolves. Some nice acid hits across the mid palate and some dark tar and chocolate flavors come into play later. The deep dark cherries linger for over 30s on the finish, and are wrapped in soft, elegant tannins all the way to the end. Freakin’ gorgeous!
