Marco Abella, Priorat Clos Abella Red 2016 Saint Estephe The 2017 vintage bears the70% Cariena, 30% Garnacha from vines in Porrera. Aged 18 months in French Oak Barrels, 30% of them new, which obviously marked the wine with plenty of oak aromas and flavors and especially a texture from the tannins. Perfect bouquet of red and dark fruits, fresh flowers, minerals, spices and licorice. Definitively riper, more concentrated and oakier, the Clos Abella is the top of the range. It's a powerful, well oaked and modern version of Priorat.
