 L Ermita Priorat Spanien 2006 ...auf Anfrage
Fruit Source: Arguably Priorat’s greatest vineyard: a dramatically steep 2-hectare hillside of 70-year-old, head-pruned vines.
Yields: Less than 10 hL/hA (2005)
Blend: 100% old-vine Garnacha (a little Cabernet was added prior to 2006). Harvesting is by hand, with multiple passes to pick optimal fruit.
Oak Aging: 100% new French barrique.
Deep crimson-colored, it shows off a super-fragrant nose of pain grille, pencil lead, licorice, sage, incense, anisette, and black cherry. Elegant, velvety-textured, rich, and layered, this stylish effort conceals enough tannin to blossom for another 5-7 years. Its drinking window will extend from 2015 to 2030. It is unquestionably a great wine but not quite at the level of the 2004 and 2005 (
