Named the 2015 "Man of the Year" by Decanter Magazine , Alvaro Palacios is an important figure in the wine industry. A wine on the Top 100 Spectator list for 2013. Had a bottle left, tasting well. Sourced from old steep vineyards. Deep dark Ruby. Aromas of pronounced red fruits with the right balance of spices. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with licorice and sweet spice. Long finish, great balance with generous acidity, elegant ending with a mineral character. Very Nice still has room to age

Perhaps a little early for a Priorat. Fruit very pronounced, but still has a dusty feel. The finish is a little abbreviated, which is why I think it could use some more time. Great with the Bobby Flay Louisiana Filet, though!
