Arbossar 2015
Descripción
Arbossar es un vino de coster, 100% Cariñena vieja de un viñedo especial con orientación norte, a 350 metros sobre el nivel del mar y bajo suelos pizarrosos y graníticos. Viticultura biodinámica y una crianza de 24 meses entre barricas de 500 litros usadas y foudres austriacos completan la receta de este Priorat fresco y directo, con muchísima tensión.

Opinión de los críticos
The old-vine Cariñena 2015 Arbossar has a distinct note of licorice that grows in the glass. By working the vineyard with compost, they have managed to increase yields around 15%, and they feel the grapes achieve better balance, which is very difficult to see in the very poor llicorella slate soils that have almost no organic matter. It's a north-facing slope planted some 90 years ago, and the grapes are very concentrated, so it's a challenge to achieve a floral and fresh Cariñena like this, with notes of blue fruit and violets, quite different from the majority of Cariñena from Priorat. It matured in Stockinger oak foudres for 16 months, and like the majority of wines here, it shows perfectly integrated oak, with just faint spices nicely intermixed with the fruit. There is no heat at all; it's a cool vineyard, and that freshness is translated into the wine and is especially noticeable in a warm and ripe year like 2015. Superb showing for the Arbossar—it has to be one of the best vintages ever. 3,900 bottles were filled in April 2017.
Very intense blue fruits with iodine, graphite and violet undertones. Full body, dense and layered. Fine texture yet round tannins. Like two wines in one. Starts structured then turns refined. Extremely drinkable. Drink now or hold.

Extraordinario. Mucha longitud y persistencia en boca.
Muy bueno; pero creo que demasiado caro.
