Hailing from the rugged slopes of Spain’s Priorat region, the Clos i Terrasses Clos Erasmus 2021 is a true testament to its terroir. Garnering an almost perfect score from both Falstaff (FS100) and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA99), its quality is undeniable. This showstopper offers a symphony of flavors, with an intoxicating blend of black cherries, anise, and crushed violets that unfold majestically on the palate. The minerality, a signature characteristic of Priorat’s llicorella soils, brings a balanced complexity to this wine, making it a drink of profound depth and elegance. This is a wine that would undoubtedly elevate a dinner party, especially when paired with hearty dishes like braised lamb or wild mushroom risotto. With its performance surpassing many competitors, it unquestionably delivers well beyond its peers.
