Mas Doix 2000 Priorat (Spain)

Vibrant, deep red/purple.

Shoe polish, deep black cherry coulis, myriad spice notes, and smoke on the nose. Beautifully integrated and complex.

Intense middle-weight in the mouth. Spice and red fruit flavors are deep, but linear. Still dominated by acid-driven tannin. But this drinks well now, particularly with some meat (cream/reduction sauce wouldn't hurt either). Better in another 5 years.

I think this needs air.
