Cami Pesseroles, Priorato, 2016
Minty fresh with deep dark fruit robust fruit and herbs leading in to hearty blackcurrant flavours and a charge of tannin, black slate and spices. Wild, borderline untrammelled but with real presence, it coats the mouth and wrests and envelops the senses. A constant shapeshifter the longer it sits in the glass, the 2016 is a boisterous, honest and enticing Cami Pesseroles. This is real wine with no make-up, built from the earth. Energy, rusticity and complexity.
critic reviews
Limpid violet. Expansive aromas of red and dark berry preserves, cola, incense and candied violet; a penetrating, smoky mineral quality adds focus. A core of juicy acidity supports sweet, deep-pitched cherry, blueberry and spicecake flavors that gain weight in the glass. The impressively long, persistent finish features polished tannins that frame lingering blue fruit and floral notes.
The 2016 Cami Pesseroles is mostly Carinena with some Garnacha that fermented separately, and it has some volatility and a rusticity that represents the place and the old style of the wines from Priorat. But the wine has a very low pH that gives it a sensation of freshness. There are notes of raw meat, iron and wet slate. It matured in oak barriques. 2016 was a short vintage, and only 1,900 bottles were produced.
