Torres Salmos Priorat 2014

Priorato, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainLicorice from the llicorella soils of steep Priorato imbues this deep, rich Salmos, firmly gripped and framed by stones. Fermented in stainless, aged 14 months in French wood. This is not about fruit; sure, there's crushed wild cassis, wilder blackberries, black plum and blueberries that base this cariñena / garnacha / syrah but this wine is much more about decomposed stones, slate and quartzite than black fruits. Balanced, finessed and strikingly ripe before a tightening shrink on the finish, this is best enjoyed now with wild lamb, boar, or truffle risotto.Tasted: 29 November 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
