Descripción
Uno de los vinos españoles mejor valorados. L'Ermita es una de las grandes joyas enológicas del panorama español con el que Álvaro Palacios ha conseguido estar en lo más alto en cuanto a reconocimientos se refiere. Un vino limitado, exclusivo, íntimo y armónico. Su autor lo define como “La emoción del clasicismo”. Como curiosidad, en su coupage participan mayoritariamente las variedades Garnacha y Samsó (Cariñena), aunque también hay un pequeño porcentaje de uvas blancas que nacen en el mismo viñedo, como es el caso de la Garncha blanca, la Pedro Ximénez o la Macabeo.

Opinión de los críticos
There is even more Cariñena in this warm vintage, and the varietal breakdown of the 2017 L'Ermita comes to a majority of Garnacha but with a notable 20% Cariñena and some 2% of white grapes. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats and matured in oak barrels of different sizes for 16 months. The grapes were picked on the 18th of October, which is extremely late considering that 2017 was their earliest harvest ever! It has a surprisingly high percentage of Cariñena, the highest ever for L'Ermita, yet the wine feels like the essence of a Mediterranean Garnacha—floral, expressive, open, insinuating, refined and elegant. It has great depth and refined tannins and feels light on its feet, yet it's full of inner power, intense and persistent. It's detailed, nuanced, clean, transparent, focused and pure. The flavors are very precise and clean and the aftertaste extremely long. A truly great L'Ermita, again, transcending the conditions of the vintage. They got 15.2 hectoliters per hectare. 2,900 bottles were filled in May 2019. This will be the first wine to carry the new Priorat classification Gran Viña Clasificada, the equivalent of a Grand Cru in Burgundy.
This is mesmerizing to smell with a bouquet of flowers that flow out of the glass, combined with black and blue fruit. Full body. Ultra fine tannins. Driven and vivid. It goes on for minutes. A great Spanish wine. Drink after 2022, but already superb.
L'Ermita is the Romanée-Conti of Priorat. It is a very small (1.4 ha) vineyard planted between 1910 and 1939, practically pure Garnacha. The leading role of this wine is due to its delicacy rather than its power. Year after year it becomes subtler and more refined. Restrained nose, with amazing fruit definition. Silky and savoury palate, fresh and intense, complex and slow. The wine leaves memories of perfect balance and completeness. For sure, it will improve with time, but you should still taste it now. Drinking Window 2020 - 2030.
