Llicorlla

Bright dark colour with a bright purple hue. Meaty and spicy nose showing smoked meat, ripe fig, plum and cherry notes with wild herbs and pepper. Dense yet fresh palate with concentrated fruit, ripe but digest with plenty of spices, discreet oak, barely noticable and a long layered finish. Fine potential here, should deserve another few years to fully open.

Ripe, soupy berry aromas are earthy and heavy, with a preponderance of clove. In the mouth, this is full and oaky, with chunky weight cut by spiky acidity. Toasty, creamy flavors of clove, burnt wood and black pepper dominate in front of a barrel-driven finish that plays up clove and chocolate.
