Merum Priorati El Cel 2020

35% Red Grenache, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Carignan, 20% Syrah

 An opaque cherry-red hue with a purple rim and dense tears. It has a splendid aromatic intensity, both on the nose and across the palate. The nose has notes of dark fruit such as ripe blueberries, with subtle undertones of pastries, as well as hints of toasted grain from the French oak. It is broad on entry and refreshing on the palate, thanks to its well-integrated minerality. It has aromas of dark fruit such as wild berries, blackberries and plums, together with expressive flavoursfrom its oak ageing: chocolate, truffle and black liquorice. It unfolds in a powerful, complex fashion, and its silky tannins ensure a long, elegant mid palate.
