Espectacle del Montsant Tinto

The colour of the 2019 vintage of Espectacle is fairly intense with a purple tinge, typical of this wine when young. The aromas are initially very intense and complex, showing clear notes of black fruit, raspberries, blackberries, and currants, all surrounded by spicy notes. After a short exposure to air, the complexity is enriched with subtle hints of violets and especially the classic aromas of roses emanating from the unique terroir. On the palate, this vintage is more concentrated than in previous years. Ripe tannins complemented by gorgeous complex fruit flavours and an exquisite soft velvety texture accentuate the classic subtle elegance and charm that is the signature of Espetacle. The finish is persistent and long, displaying all the aromatic richness of this extraordinary wine.

Critical Acclaim RP 99  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate " It's always an exciting moment to taste a new vintage of the wine from one of the most beautiful vineyards in Montsant, and the 2019 Espectacle del Montsant didn't disappoint. It's always Mediterranean, heady and ripe, decadent and hedonistic. 2019 was a warm and quite classical vintage in the zone, with good ripeness (the wine's label lists 15.5% alcohol), and the wine is hedonistic, nuanced and complex, with very good acidity, which is one of the characteristics that makes this vintage so complete. Despite everything, the wine is medium to full-bodied and comes through as perfumed and ethereal. They do long macerations and long aging in foudre. 2019 is a very serious vintage for this wine; it's a little closed and needs time in the glass, and it's tight and seamless, a little austere for what this wine usually is. This is truly spectacular."
