Closed and funky out of the bottle, but time allows the wine to round into form. As it does that, oak and coffee aromas emerge from the schisty bouquet, while the palate is mocha-infused and loaded with dark, masculine fruit. Arguably a little woody and resiny, but there’s no challenging the wine’s power, integrity and Priorat character.

Thoroughly modern in style, with an oaky nose of campfire, spice, vanilla, sawdust and molten berry. The palate is solid and shows good vital acidity, while the flavors of blackberry are meaty and thorough, with hints of coconut, chocolate and cream. Seems a little more balanced and interesting than FB’s richer, softer Selección.

Dark and dense, with aromas of rich black fruits, grilled meat and a lot of oak. The palate is extracted but it’s not the least bit hard or biting. Flavors of Concord grapes and blackberry are sweet, and the finish keeps its fruit. Could it use more minerality and toughness? Maybe, but as is it’s very approachable. Drink now through 2012.
