Josep Grau 'La Florens' '19

From Montsant's slate soils, this Garnacha-Carignan blend displays an opaque purple-black core. The nose explodes with an intoxicating perfume of blackberry liqueur, violet pastille, and crushed peppercorn with underlying graphite notes. The palate delivers extraordinary depth - flavors of blueberry compote, dark chocolate, and roasted herbs unfold with velvety tannins that earned consistent 95-97 point scores. Aged 16 months in French oak (50% new), this 15% alcohol wine finishes with a kaleidoscope of fruit and mineral elements that linger for minutes. Decant for grilled ribeye or cellar until 2035+ - the 2019 vintage produced Montsant wines of legendary quality.
