2017 D.O. Montsant "Costers del Gravet", Catalunya, Spain

Firm aroma of ripe rather dark berries with delicate smoky tones, a hint of dried meat and bacon, cassis, dried herbs and nutty to slightly woody tones. Ripe, melting, somewhat warm, partly preserved fruit, crumbly tannin, good persistence, a little cocoa on the palate, ethereal-herbal nuances, hints of salt and juniper, nutty tones, moderate wood, very good, warm finish.
