Álvaro Palacios L`Ermita 1994 is a Garnacha-dominant red wine from Spain`s esteemed Priorat region. This vintage showcases the complexity of its terroir, derived from ancient, low-yielding vines cultivated in steep, slate-rich soils. The wine displays a deep, inky hue, with a fragrant profile of crushed berries, plum and subtle mineral undertones. Its structure features pronounced tannins and notable glycerin, contributing to a textured mouthfeel. Álvaro Palacios, a pivotal figure in modern Spanish winemaking, emphasises traditional methods combined with innovation, aiming for authenticity in every bottle.
96 Vinous
Saturated ruby. Flamboyant aromas of black raspberry, smoked meat, soy sauce and smoky oak; roasted but not at all over the top. Huge, sweet and sappy, with the roasted ripeness repeating in the mouth. Superripe-verging-on-unctuous yet amazingly vibrant, thanks to chewy buffering extract. Has a huge structure for long life in bottle, but Palacios says this is even less evolved than the '95. This was long, lush and fresh after 24 hours in the recorked bottle. Should develop for years but is a knockout right now.Stephen Tanzer1st July 1999
