Clos Erasmus

Priorat Grenache Blend 1998

9.4

You will appreciate this wine more once you’ve seen the YouTube movie “Dreaming of Wine” about the rejuvenation of the wine industry In Priorat after 900 years. A fascinating story and well worth the time to view the movie. Clos Erasmus was founded and still run by Daphne Glorian, the blonde woman in the movie. The wine itself is one of the 1001 Wines to Drink Before you Die and described as “one of the few cult wines in Spain”. The wine itself in colour was not as dense and dark as I was expecting after a decant though, a substantial deposit was left. Lovely red and black fruited aromatics with dried herbs, violets and ripe berries, although with porty and raisiny notes - cocoa and a touch of tar with granular tannins. Arguably a bit long in the tooth - depends what you are looking for. Bought at a wine shop in Gratallops, the little village in Priorat in June last year, 2022 after a tasting at Clos Mogador, also in the movie. Tasted a while ago Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gave this wine 99 points “flirting with perfection “. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. — 14 days ago

@Paul T- Huntington Beach Well bought Paul. A top wine and great value compared to the excellent and expensive wines of his Priorat mates Alvaro Palacios and Daphne Glorian.

Not bad, esp for $23. Great summer wine! Fizzy muscat with just the right amount of acidity. Minerality , lime, salt. Dry wine that’s not sweet at all. Green apple. 10.5% can drink this all day — 22 days ago
