2020 Spectacle Vins Montsant Espectacle DO

The 2020 Espectacle del Montsant has 15% alcohol, lower than the two previous vintages despite being a warmer year, and it has power and concentration (from the weather and the low yields from mildew), reaching a good concentration with freshness, which is the key to having a balanced 2020. The wine is floral, and the profile of fruit is more primary. It also has abundant, fine-grained tannins that are going to require some more time in bottle.

Red wine made exclusively from Garnacha grapes, coming from a single vineyard of more than 100 years of age, with aging of 14 to 16 months in 4,000 liter French carvalho barrels. Complex in its aromas and flavours, it contains ripe vermilion and black fruits accompanied by floral notes, dry herbs, spicy, balsamic and earthy spices, all supported by vigorous acidity and firm, finely grained tannins. In a difficult and problematic year in the field like 2020, which reduced production in Priorato by around 70%, it appears to be powerful and concentrated, but also fluid, refined and deep. Ainda is young and ready to do better in the next 20 years
