2020 Clos Erasmus Laurel

Despite the climatic and other challenges with which the winemakers in the Priorat region had to contend with for the 2020 vintage, the final product here is fantastic. The extra lengths the winemaker here went through to try to replicate the successes of previous vintages really delivered. We sold out of the 95-point 2019 gem pretty quickly, but actually think this one's even better. True to the blend associated with this label, this is a very unique blend of the local stalwart grape Garnacha with small amounts of grapes originally from Bordeaux and the Rhone Valleys of France. They all work to create this strange and unique harmony of flavors that just deliver brilliantly!
