potential realized

a little more austere and less exuberant than the 2019 I tasted next to it

Cims de Porrera, Vi de Vila 2021 750ML IconSake2026 45% MerlotIntense red, deep cherry ruby with garnet trim. Expect vibrant aromas of fresh red and black fruits (cherry, berry, plum), licorice, undergrowth forestfloor, mineral slate, subtle oak vanilla spice (from the barrel ageing). Structured yet fresh; good acidity; velvety texture; tannins present but well integrated; concentration of fruit; a minerality (typical of Priorats slate soils); a length with dryish, somewhat spicy finish.
