L'Ermita

1998 "L'Ermita" Priorat DOCa, Alvaro Palacios Dunkles Granat. Königliches, verführerisches Bouquet, ein Korb voller Beeren, Sandelholz und Dörrpflaumen. Im Gaumen satt, von reifen Tannine begleitete Astringenz, viel Nachklang, grosses Alterungspotential. Alvaro Palacios bester Wein. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The blockbuster, opaque purple-colored 1998 L'Ermita (the finest since the 1995 and 1994) exhibits a full-bodied personality with copious quantities of sweet oak, a boatload of glycerin, and superb blackberry, cassis, and cherry fruit that explodes on the mid-palate and in the finish. The elevated quantities of new oak should become better integrated as the wine ages over the next 15-20 years. This is an exceptionally impressive/expressive wine.  James Suckling: Plush on the midpalate yet firm on the finish, this concentrated Spanish red delivers plenty of ripe fruit and toasty oak, balanced and rich. International style in its texture and polish, yet the flavors are distinctive and typical for the region.
