Grans Muralles 2016

A fruity and rather jammy red with cherry, berry, citrus and chocolate character. Full-bodied. Round and creamy tannins give a soft mouth feel. But jammy on the finish. This is for people who are looking for lots of fruit. A little overdone. Drink or hold.

The ’great walls’ in the wine’s name protected the nearby Poblet monastery, which was the burial place of the Catalan kings. The magisterial blend highlights the family work on ancestral varieties, with Querol and Garró adding to the superbly intense and spicy palate. Liquorice, garrigue, succulent berry fruits, developing notes of leather with time, an elegant vintage.
