EDITORS CHOICE
Aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, rose petal and fennel pollen lead the way for purple plum, black cherry, milk chocolate, anisette and violet flavors wrapped in a sheath of velvety tannins. Well-integrated acidity keeps things lively on the palate into a fruit- and flower-infused finish.
Wine Tasting Notes
Idus is the result of a close collaboration between the Vall Llach estate and owners of trossos, or small vineyard blocks, who cultivate old-vine Carinena and Garnacha. These ancient vineyards, located near the towns of Porrera and Torroja, Priorat, produce the essential Priorat character of this wine. The head-pruned, tiny "bonsai" vines yield naturally concentrated fruit that produce a wine ruby red in color with aromas of black licorice, marzipan, nutmeg and allspice. On the palate Idus is unctuous and mineral-rich with a very long finish. Meant to drink now or age for up to 30 years.
