Torres Salmos Priorat 2011

by

Some Priorat can be a bit bloated and plodding: not this one…

Torres Salmos Priorat 2011, Spain (£18.99 Waitrose, vintagemarque.com)
A lovely combination of exuberance and freshness, packed with plush berry, plum and damson, with an ever-so-slightly rustic raisinny note too, but there’s also an earthy coolness, presumably a product of the slate-y licorella soils, and a lively finish. Tasty now, but this was still tasting great two days after opening, a sign of a promising future. S+

    Hi Simon,

    You are correct. The first vintage of Salmos was 2006, so the 2011 is the 6th vintage Torres has made.

    Cheers

    Thanks for that Kate. It was great wine, finished in bittersweet conditions – with a good friend, just after my father-in-law’s funeral…
