L`Ermita 2012 from Alvaro Palacios is a benchmark wine from Priorat made from old-vine Garnacha from a steep parcel of llicorella slate. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, structured by immense tannins and deep mineral concentration. Flavours showcase concentrated black cherry, blood orange and anise, with a distinctive slate-driven smokiness. The 2012 vintage delivered high concentration and power, requiring extended cellaring to resolve this wine`s formidable structure.
