Clos dels Llops "Manyetes" Priorat 2000

Deep red.

Overtly toasty nose, a bit off-putting, can't tell if it's all oak or oak and sulfide synergy. Deep black fruit buried.

Deep black fruit sweetness in the mouth, framed by toasty oak. Great density, with moderate tannin chew. This was hard as a rock a few years ago.

Day 3 - Similar nose. Deep, creamy black fruit. Again, similar to day 1. Great depth, just lacks complexity.

Mostly Carignan, made by Barbier (Mogador).
