"The 2011 Dits del Terra is an earthy Carinena from different vineyards in the village of Torroja on schist, slate soils from a very warm vintage. The wood is perfectly integrated (a characteristic in all their wines), feeling elegant, fresh and balanced, with more black than red fruit, a medium-bodied palate with some grainy tannins and an earthiness that calls for a little bottle aging. Mediterranean at heart, fennel, rosemary, thyme and some licorice develop with a little bit of time and patience. It was only bottled four months ago, and experience tells me that these wines improve and are much more drinkable after three years in bottle, so I’d wait a little bit before pulling the cork. Drink 2015–2020."
Deep ruby. Highly perfumed scents of red- and blackcurrant, smoky minerals, pungent flowers and Asian spices. Velvety and sweet in the mouth, with deep dark berry and floral pastille flavors. This very expressive wine has a spicy, penetrating finish that features fine-grained tannins and a suggestion of star anise.
This collector Priorat is immensely rare. For the avid collector and wine aficionado's.
