Nearly perfect with deep smooth fruit, well-integrated tannins, and undertones of cedar and honey without being the least bit sweet. Quite a bit of sediment in the bottle would benefit from decanting.

A rich, thick wine. Smoky, choclatey palate. The dark fruits become subtley jam-like. Long finish. A wonderful wine. Has some time yet.

This was amazing. Complex and earthy, with great Priorat licorella minerality.

Great nose! Not showing as nice as last bottle. More acidic with less fruit and structure support.

A nice wine with tannins almost fully absorbed, but lacks the punch and complexity of the best Priorat. Might be a year too late

Decanted and drank over a two hour period. Peaked at around an hour and a half. Spectator nails it on this one. Great sweet fruit that definitely has layers but more medium bodied than full. The oak is well integrated and rounds out the wine but the tannins are difficult to detect, making me suspect of the long term viability of the wine. Solid effort and a nice wine nonetheless but I have had better Priorats for less money.

Blueberry , oak and casis flavors dominate. The fruit is starting to fade. It is not as powerful as i recall tasting two years ago. Drink now.

Had again with friends. Same bubbly feel on the tongue. Fruity smell and taste maybe grapefruit.

This is a perfect wine for a steak. The nose is subtle, but earthy and woodsy, with some nice dark cherry coming through. The palate is complex, with plenty of smoke, pencil shavings and cigar box flavors. It's got strong tannins but not to the point where they dominate, and the fruit still shows through nicely. A great wine to sit in front of a new, or old, fireplace and enjoy the warmth.

Rich golden in color. The nose is oak, vanilla, pineapple and mushroomy earth. Creamy in the mouth, soft and with a medium high acidity. Minerals, oak, and in the end overly done with a lack of fruit to back up the wood. 2.5/5

Wonderful aromas of red and black fruit and spices; still a bit closed, even after a day or two; not as big as many Priorat reds; should improve with age

Extremely nice dark ruby red color. There are a calculated amount of high harmonious glycerin levels to fruit. The taste is rich however not overpowering. There are layers of soil minerals, chicory espresso, and dark fruit flavors with a nice cocoa finish. I would recommend some decanting for full enjoyment. 65% Carinena, 15% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot 15.5% Alcohol WA96 WE96

Light gold in color, the nose jumps out of the glass with cut grass, and pear coming to mind. The mouth feel is soft with a medium acidity and a somewhat flat finish. Very herbal in the mouth with nice peach hints. Nice wine, but nothing to write home about. 2.5/5

A favorite among my Spanish wines. Deep, dark purple color. A thick choclatey, tarry wine, but the fruit is still present. The wine is balanced with sufficient tannins and adequate acidity. I wonder what this will be like in ten years,,,,

Another chunky wine laden with aromas of sage, Thai basil, rich ripe blackberry and dark fruit jam. There is also a healthy dose of oak. On the palate there is a meaty texture, but sweet fruit does shine. It is opulent and racy. It is a wine that does need time as oak and tannin dominate the finish.

Both Amadis and big brother Tirant are terrific value for money and have performed extremely well since the breakthrough 2001 vintage (96-98pts) resulting in a dedicated, cult following. 2005 is a sensational vintage - better even than 2003, which scored 94pts for the Amadis and 96pts for the Tirant - the wines are saturated with beautifully balanced black liqueur fruit flavours and are surely destined for rave reviews in the near future.
