Note di degustazione
Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Energetic and focused on the nose, displaying spice-accented red/blue fruit aromas and a building floral overtone. Gently sweet and smooth on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry and boysenberry flavors that are underscored by a vein of smoky minerality. The nervy, persistent finish shows very good focus and spicy cut while rounded tannins add gentle grip. (aged in concrete tanks and French oak barrels)

The 2014 Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes is a blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Cariñena from different villages. The 2014 vintage was a high yielding, warm vintage and the grapes from the nine villages of Priorat fermented in a combination of oak and cement vats with natural yeasts and matured in oak barrels for ten months. This is always a characterful wine, with the unmistakable signature of the Cariñena with the rusticity of the dusty roads of Priorat. The palate is really lively, with some dusty tannins and high acidity. It's long and it finishes with a mineral sensation. Despite my references to some rusticity, this is very elegant, much more elegant and refined than the wines from the 1990s and 2000s. Elegant rusticity, that is! There are 103,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2015.
