Fra marker i det vestlige Catalonien kommer druerne til denne fabelagtige rødvin. Området Les Garrigues er et tørt og barskt landskab, der i høj grad har været med til at præge vinens flotte karakter, der byder på masser af varme og personlighed.
Lavet på et blend Carignan, Grenache og Syrah fremstår Purgatori kraftig og intens, med dejlige aromaer af mørk frugt, fine tanniner fra den 16 måneder lange lagring på fransk egetræ og en imødekommende og behagelig struktur efter yderligere 20 måneders lagring i flaske forud for frigivelse. En vin af tårnhøj klasse, der vil være en fremragende ledsager til rødt kød. Purgatori 2020 smager allerede forrygende nu, men vil også med stor defel kunne gemmes og nydes henover de kommende 10 år.
Robert Parker - 92
The red 2020 Purgatori was produced with a blend of 75% Garnacha and 25% Cariñena (no more Syrah) from vines planted in 2000 at a high altitude (for Costers del Segre) on sandy and limestone soils in a very dry and healthy zone. It fermented in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in 2,000-liter foudres (introduced in 2018) and in new and used barriques for a total of 15 months. The wine has 14.5% alcohol and nice balance and juiciness. It is ripe and a bit heady, reflecting a much warmer year, with a fruit-driven nose and notes of plums. There was less humidity there, so there were less problems with fungus. The wine has concentration and abundant tannins. They want to do only one wine from this estate in Costers del Segre. 54,903 bottles, 740 magnums and some larger formats were produced. It was bottled in May 2022.

A poised red with aromas of cherries, mixed berries, nutmeg and vanilla. Medium- to- full-bodied with velvety tannins. Supple and balanced with a silky texture and succulent fruit to the finish. Lightly jammy. Drink now.
