Note di degustazione
This started out extremely tight but over the course of the evening, opened up and showed great aromatics with an unbelievable palate. Dark fruit, blueberry, huge minerals and bittersweet chocolate are backed up by smoky oak, earth and spice notes. Full bodied with an almost perfect palate. Rich fruit, amazing balance and killer fine grained tannins on the long finish. This is still young and needs lots of air but man, what a treat.

Slightly weak rim to dark crimson. French oak dominates the nose. Very round and sweet and full – but not desperately Priorat. With a very dry finish. Competent but not exciting. (JR)
Believe it or not, this wine smelled like a hypothetical blend of the famed Pomerol, Le Pin, and the two distinctive Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa Valley, Colgin and Bryant. Truly great stuff, it boasts an inky/purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of blueberry liqueur intermixed with violets, licorice, toast, and crushed stones. It exhibits massive layers of fruit and body, tremendous purity and palate presence, and a sumptuous finish. Exotic, rich, and distinctive, this is only the second vintage for this producer. Bottled unfiltered after aging in French and American oak for 14 months, it is also fairly priced for a wine this compelling. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel.
