Alvaro Palacios Velles Vinyes Les Terrasses 2020

In 2019, Les Terrasses was exceptionally high in Garnacha, the tendency in this cuvée. Cariñena suffered more from the mildew of 2020, and the final blend of the 2020 Les Terrasses Velles Vinyes was 72% Garnacha and 28% Cariñena, with 14.5% alcohol. It is gentle, honest and with typicity representing the wines from yesteryear but clean and harmonious, with nice balance and no oxidation or volatility, so an updated version of the traditional wines. Drink date: 2022-2028. Score – 94. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Sept. 30, 2022)
