2013 Gratallops Vi de Vila, Álvaro Palacios, Priorat, Spain

Description

Such an attractive nose with aromas of purple flowers, rose petals, musk and ripe plum fruit. Almost Port-like. On first taste it is very gentle, but given a swirl of air it develops into a weighty palate brimming with elegant herbs, fennel, lavender, fresh plum fruit and a powerful, mouth filling mid-palate. Gratallops always seems to be effortless and elegant, all the while retaining a lightness of touch and fine detail to the very end. The 2013 is no exception.
