| From the NJ Poker Night 3/14/04.
'00 Francesc Bas Montsalvat Priorat - 94 pts. My WOTN and just about everyones. Beautiful black fruit, cocoa and peppermint on the nose. More black fruit on the palate, picking up plum, fig and mocha in the finish. Full bodied and sexy. Gorgeous.
I don't think there is a need to cellar this wine long term. It is drinking amazingly right now with a 1 hour decant.

| I cracked another one of these for Christmas dinner. Tremendous nose of mocha and green tea (mint?) along with plenty of black fruit/currant on the palate. Continued to get better in the glass with each pour over the course 3 hours.
Glad I have two more. Thanks, j_b! | | | |

| Love this wine. I wish the '01 didn't go up 25% in price.

| Popped another one of these last night. Corked soaked (haha) almost to the top and a fair amount of mold when I pulled off the foil. At first, I was concerned but that didn't last long.
I continue to be amazed by this wine! Nice dark fruit (blackberry?) with some secondary tea/spice. Fully mature, but in no risk of decline. Drink now or hold for a few more years.
I *think* (hope) I have one more of these. | | | |
