A first sample of this wine showed some porty high tones but this one is refined and pure

It's a wine that spends two winters in barrel

particularly on the finish

The natural ripeness of the year amps up the Chardonnay flavors

intense and tension-filled full-bodied flavors that possess excellent power and drive on the seductively textured

Alvaro Palacios, Priorat Ermita Size:3L A first sample of thisGlass staining ruby. Heady, complex scents of candied dark berries, incense, potpourri and smoky minerals, with a sexy vanilla nuance in the background. Juicy, penetrating and pure, with superb clarity and power to the black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. The floral element comes back strong on the mineral driven finish, which lingers with outstanding tenacity, velvety tannins and echoing sweet blue fruit. Josh Raynolds
