Álvaro Palacios Gratallops 2022

This village wine is an aromatic red with red berries and a mineral twist. Elegant and firm on the palate, with lightly chewy tannins that still manage to dissolve. There is a sort of red-fruit elegance that rivals a fine pinot, but it is the Mediterranean garnacha that dominates. Drink or hold [through 2030+]. Score – 94.
