塞西利奧酒莊埃斯皮爾紅葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：372

The 2007 L’Espill is made up of 60% Garnacha, 30% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from vines over 50 years of age. It was naturally fermented and then aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak. The aromatics are slightly restrained but with coaxing reveal notions of slate/mineral, sandalwood, spice box, and assorted black fruits. On the palate it is in need of greater depth and concentration although the flavors are very enjoyable. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring to hopefully allow for further development and drink it through 2019. Celler Cecilio is the oldest registered winery in Priorat.

The 2006 L’Espill is the same blend and received the same elevage. Currently it is a bit more reticent than the 2005 but certainly contains all the right stuff. For now, the edge is to the 2005. Importer: Jonas Gustafsson, Vin de Terra Imports, Springfield, VA; tel. (703) 731-2058

The 2005 L’Espill, sourced from a single vineyard with vines over 52 years of age, is a blend of 60% Garnacha, 30% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was naturally fermented with wild yeasts and aged for 12 months in French oak. Purple colored, it surrenders an already complex bouquet of kirsch, Asian spices, lavender, crushed stone, and black plum. Intense, dense, and loaded, it will continue to blossom for another 3-4 years. It can be approached now but will be in its prime from 2013 to 2020.

The 2004 L-Espril is a single vineyard selection of 60% Garnacha, 30% Carinena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from vines over 50 years of age. Purple-colored, it offers up an outstanding perfume of toasty oak, pencil lead, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry. On the palate, balsamic notes, pepper, and dark fruit flavors emerge followed by a structured wine that demands 5-7 years of cellaring. It will offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2025.
