Product description for Clos i Terrasses Laurel 2021

Together with René Barbier and Alvaro Palacios, Daphne Glorian is one of the three pioneers of what today makes Priorat wines great. Clos Erasmus rose to fame. Glorian founded Clos I Terrasses in the late 1980s and relied on biodynamic farming from the outset. The Laurel cuvée consists primarily of Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged in used wood and amphorae.

Colour

The wine is dark purple with a violet rim and an opaque core, clear and brilliant in the glass.

Nose

The 2021 Laurel from Clos I Terrasses is profound and, despite its youth, very generous on the nose. Dark fruit is reminiscent of cranberries and lingonberries combined with dried and preserved black cherries. Added to this are the spice of black tea, delicately smoked duck breast, and the sweet aroma of cocoa beans, as well as a hint of amaretto. This multifaceted wine evokes anticipation for the first sip.

Palate

This proud Catalan wine from Gratallops is rich and pronounced in its dark berry fruit, yet consistently dry. An invigorating acidity gives the wine’s tannic body freedom of movement and surefootedness, bringing it into balance. Time and air bring its still untamed power into a balanced calm; therefore: be sure to open and/or decant well in advance of consumption.
