Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses 2005, crafted in Spain’s Priorat, is a Garnacha-driven blend with Carignan from old vines in the estate’s slate and quartz terroir. The bouquet unveils evolved blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with notes of spice, graphite, and subtle oak, accented by hints of minerality. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity supporting the mature fruit. Aged in French oak, this wine delivers a refined, lingering finish with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, game, or aged cheeses, it reflects Palacios’ modern winemaking, offering a sophisticated experience for Priorat enthusiasts seeking a robust red. Its richness and complexity make it a standout from the 2005 vintage, embodying Priorat’s iconic terroir.
