Torres Priorat Salmos 2021

$43.99
Beautiful dark cherry color. Intense and captivating on the nose with generous fruity richness (strawberry jam, raspberries, and red berries) over a background of Mediterranean undergrowth (rosemary, lavender) and dried fruits (prunes, dates). Warm, with a deliciously velvety body and very fine tannins that extend on the palate with spicy flavors (pepper) to a slightly bitter finish (licorice, roasted coffee, chocolate). Pairs very well with game dishes such as roast lamb and grilled vegetables.Slow-cooked recipes with venison, wild boar, and hare are a great match. Try mature sheep cheeses such as Manchego.

Such an outstanding Priorat that already shows beautifully as it opens up slowly in the glass. Vivid aromas of grilled grapefruit, sweet strawberries, blueberries, minerals, cocoa, white pepper and Mediterranean spices. Textured, expressive and medium- to full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long, pristine finish. Concentrated flavors, but pretty ethereal in the middle.
