The 2016 Salanques is phenomenal, one of the finest vintages ever. It has an expressive nose combining notes of flowers, wild herbs and berries and subdued minerality, reminiscent of wet slate. The palate is medium-bodied, with a little less alcohol, fine, slightly dusty tannins and very good freshness. It's terribly balanced and tasty. It should develop beautifully in bottle. 18,000 bottles were filled in April 2018.

This red is big and rangy, offering rugged tannins and orange peel acidity that support the plum, licorice, sanguine and herbal flavors. A bit rustic, but expressive, with depth and personality. Drink now through 2028. 504 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
