Luis Gutierrez beschreibt den Terroir al Limit Dits del Terra 2015 DOQ Priorat :

The 2015 Dits del Terra has a beautiful nose that is very elegant and perfumed. with floral aromas and a clear mineral note from early on. This is a slightly warmer vineyard (the one originally worked by Eben Sadie); but the balance is amazing here. and there is no heat. The foudres are also a little older—six years old—and therefore are quite neutral. and the wines age nicely in them. The quality and refinement of the tannins is surprising—they provide for a velvety texture. and there is a liveliness on the palate that only the best wines can achieve. especially with a rustic grape grown in a rustic place and in a warm vineyard. In this 2015. the Cariñena is just as fresh (maybe even fresher!) as it is in the Arbossar. Bravo! At the end of the day. both showed a similar quality level. For proprietor Dominik Huber. it's clear that Cariñena is the grape for the warmer places on slate soils. 4.600 bottles were filled in May 2017.



 

Luis Gutierrez beschreibt Ihn wie folgt:

The Torroja Vi de Vila has been renamed and is now the 2017 Terra de Cuques. basically because they didn't find enough grapes in Torroja for this wine. In 2017. it's still fruit from Torroja. but in the future there will be grapes from other villages. There are strong notes of licorice. red berries and Mediterranean herbs. and it's aromatic. expressive. open. clean and. frankly. very attractive. Like many 2017s. it doesn't show any heat or excess ripeness. The oak foudres are getting older every year and lend less and less aromas and flavors. and the wines feel purer and purer. This is a super elegant blend of Garnacha and Cariñena that's really balanced and has symmetry. definition and delineation. as chiseled and precise as if laser cut. There's even some austerity on the palate. something I didn't expect from a richer vintage. 20.000 bottles produced.




 

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 26. Juil 2019:

A fresh and bright red with blueberry and slate aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Tight tannins and a steely finish. Shows energy and focus. No wood. Garnacha and cariñena. Drink now.



Verkostungsnotiz von Luis Gutierrez vom 30. August 2019:

I think the 2018 Terroir Históric follows the path of the 2016. with a little more freshness. and they have finally gotten rid of the reduction that this wine showed in some vintages. It has a clean and explosive nose of red cherries. licorice and fine spices and is clean and focused. pure. really attractive. There is perfect ripeness. enough to provide flavors and aromas without any excess. The palate is medium-bodied with great balance and is pure. delineated and terribly harmonious. 35.000 bottles produced. It's remarkable that they have been able to increase quantity and quality. It was bottled in May 2019.
