The 2014 L'Ermita is a wine of old-vine Grenache intensity from llicorella schist soils: dark cherry, garrigue, iron-rich minerality and warm spice on the nose, with a palate of concentrated black fruit, graphite and silky but firm tannins leading to a long, precise finish.

About this wine
Ripe blackberry and baked plum on the nose, with notes of tar and wild thyme. Palate is broad and generous, carrying dark chocolate and liquorice over structured, slate-edged tannins. Finish lingers, warm and spiced, with lasting minerality.
