2020 D.O. Montsant "Mans de samsó", Catalunya, Spain

Clear, quite polished aroma of mixed berries and a little cherry with tart dried-vegetable and mushroomy nuances, a hint of bread crust as well as hints of juniper. Ripe, clear, quite juicy fruit, some warmth but also freshness and delicate bite, the high alcohol excellently integrated, very fine, crumbly tannin, persistent on the palate, hints of ethereal spice, a little coriander in the background, a touch of coffee and tar, good depth, very good, firm finish with ripe juice, dark chocolate and a little dark ethereal spice.
