Clos i Terrasses Laurel 2022 is the second wine from the renowned bodega Clos Erasmus, located in Priorat and founded by Daphne Glorian. Although considered the 'second wine', Laurel has a unique identity that reflects the elegant, precise, and deeply mineral style of the bodega. It is made from young vines and a careful selection of used barrels for Clos Erasmus, maintaining high standards. The 2022 vintage is particularly balanced, approachable, and presents a fresh profile despite its 15% alcohol. Aging in different vessels adds complexity and texture, highlighting the Mediterranean character of Garnacha and the minerality of the licorella soils. On the nose, it offers aromas of black cherry, plum, raspberry, violets, and notes of Mediterranean herbs, licorice, cocoa, and graphite. On the palate, it is silky and elegant, with fine tannins, good balance, and a long, fruity finish. It is ideal for pairing with lamb, red meats, game, stews, Iberian ham, and aged cheeses.
