2021 Terroir al Límit Priorat Les Manyes

99 POINTS

Zekun Shuai - JamesSuckling.com

An epiphany here with its wild, tangy nose full of white pepper, mezcal, blood oranges, forest floor and dried herbs. Really broad and precise, with a chunk of fine, mealy tannins that knit seamlessly on the palate. Nice bitterness at the end to seal it up before an extremely long, nervy finish. Pure garnacha peluda from Les Manyes vineyard. It goes on and on. 3506 bottles. Irresistibly attractive now, but can hold.

Fintan Kerr - Decanter

Delicate smoky reduction notes with beautifully vivid flavours of wild strawberries, rose petals, wild herbs and crushed rocks. Detailed and finely etched, yet powered with incredible flavour and an endless finish. As spectacular as it was when I first tasted it last year. Pushing Priorat to the limit, indeed.

Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

“The impressive 2021 Les Manyes was very young and a little closed, even reductive and took time in the glass to take off. It slowly developed an acute note of violets and wild plants. It has a little more color than the 2019, but the maceration was more or less the same, so it must be from the year. It's very attractive, juicy and easy to drink, with notes that made me think of Château Rayas. It's fresher than the 2019 I tasted next to it. It's elegant and fruit-driven, right now very young, and it still doesn't have the complexity that it should gain over time.” 97 points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
