ALVARO PALACIO |
| This bottle of 2021 was tasted with Alain Laliberte and has a deep purple colour. It has a slightly spicy, bright, ripe, plum-crancherry nose with some slightly leesy-ceday notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, fairly dense, still youthful, bright, plum-crancherry flavours with a lingering, crisp, very faintly bitter, tea-leaf-tinged, cedar-sandalwood finish. This NEW blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Cariñena (vs 55:45 for the previous 2013 release) has 14.5% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number 019523 on the back label seal. Tasted once. |

| TASTING NOTE: The sample of the 2021 Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes was truly impressive, a blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Cariñena. It's a lively and vibrant Priorat with lower alcohol and higher acidity and more freshness, pointing at a great vintage in the making. This could very well be the finest vintage of Terrasses, a wine that Álvaro Palacios defined as a year of concentration and class. The wine is clean and pure, with great precision. It matured in barrel and cask for the past seven months, and the wine will continue its élevage for one more year. Drink date: 2024- 2030. Score - 94-96 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Sept. 30, 2022) |
