Palate:
On the tongue, the 2016 Arbossar unfolds powerfully with lots of fruit and herbal spice. The tannins are still youthful, but super fine-grained. The impression is that the black slate immediately lays itself on our tongues paired with salty minerality. One is immediately transported to the rough, rugged and at the same time impressively beautiful landscape of the Priorat. Impressive, however, is also a certain gentleness that reveals itself on the palate after sufficient aeration and ends in a pleasantly demanding finish. An impressive wine that can still mature decades to reveal itself after a few years with elegance and Burgundian finesse.
