2002 Clos Erasmus Priorat

Very dark and slightly compact with rich blackberry, vanilla, charred earth and meat aromas. Medium to full bodied and beautifully textured with everything in perfect balance leading into a long finish. This has beautiful density all the way from the initial attack to the finish and is an outstanding bottle that has some upside.

Medium ruby-red. Claret-like aromas of currant, licorice, tar and nutty oak. Densely packed, tight and juicy, with slightly green but sappy fruit flavors framed by bright acids. Distinctly a wine from a less ripe year but possesses very good concentration, subtle sweetness of fruit and very firm structure. This may well be better for a couple years of additional time in bottle.
