NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and liquorice offer a pleasing introduction to Álvaro Palacios Les Aubaguetes Priorat.On the palate, a complex blend of dried herbs, crème de cassis, and briny minerality form an intriguingly layered mouthfeel. The full-bodied texture carries through to a long, lingering finish of mocha and toasted oak. An excellent example of Priorat, this well-made red is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
