桃樂絲酒莊薩爾莫紅葡萄酒

點擊次數(shù)：18323

The 2005 Salmos is composed of Garnacha, Syrah, Carinena, and Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 9 months in new French oak. Dark crimson-colored, it offers up an aromatic array of slate, garrigue, lavender, cedar, black cherry, and blueberry. Full-bodied, sweetly-fruited, with excellent depth and breadth, this outstanding Priorat will provide much pleasure over the next 8-10 years. It is also one of the better values from this increasingly expensive D.O. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770

This represents Torres’ highest effort in Priorat, and it’s a success. Perpetual deals freshly laid asphalt, cola and grilled char on the nose and then follows that up with black cherry, cassis and tobacco flavors. It’s pure and ripe more than intellectual. Best 2009–2013; 60 cases produced.——M.S.(8/1/2008)—— 91
