2021 Les Tosses, Terroir al Límit, Priorat, Spain

Description

Most wines from 2021 felt very young, a little closed and perhaps a little reductive too, like the 2021 Les Tosses. The wine has moderate ripeness and alcohol at 13.5% and has a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins. It's still young and undeveloped. 3,208 bottles were produced.

There's only one wine from 2020 at Terroir Al Limit, as the problems with COVID-19 were complicated by a massive attack of mildew. In 2021, they abandoned oak completely, and all the wines are fermented and aged in concrete except the Históric range, which is in stainless steel. The wines feel very young, primary and undeveloped; they probably need a lot more time in bottle...

Drink 2023 - 2031

Slate and blueberries with some dried grapefruit, blood oranges and tiles. Fluid with a medium to full body and immaculate tannins. Crunchy at first, then tight with ductile tannins with extremely vibrant acidity. Really long, with a natural flair.
