Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes 2008
Priorato, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainHundreds of small vineyards in seven different municipalities come together under the maestro Alvaro Palacios to be Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes. Steep old north facing sites that escape the hottest sun are the secret to Les Terrasses great flavours. It spends 14 months in barrels; only 15 percent are new. Expect a sweet, supple, rich, spicy red with slate and mineral undertones with floral, violet, cypress overtones. Love the aromatic black fruit notes. Nothing but terroir. Lamb shanks, grilled lamb, lamb chops, well you get the message. Tasted: 06 April 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $47.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
