Álvaro Palacios ‘Les Terrasses’ Garnatxa-Carinyena 2020 Size::1 Bottle and show its true coloursGarnacha with 45% Sams. Ashy, deep, and dark with rosehips and leathery spice under cherry blossom, with a dash of orange juice. Solid fruited thanks to the pruney old vine Sams, it's garnet coloured, opening to a velvety floral spice fan on the nose and a mouth feel wedded to its stony earth origin. Fluent and long, a steely slate freshness underpins the fruit, reflecting the schist soil. The fruit is floral, slinky, dark and abuzz with briary herbs.
