Clos Figueras, Font de la Figuera, Priorat, Catalonia, Spain 2021

Elegant and precise, with Syrah's savouriness woven with Garnacha's florality. Graphite and wet stone jump from the glass lifting the ripe, dense plum and cherry fruit. Layered and balanced with gentle nuanced spiciness (nutmeg, white pepper, black pepper). Well-honed tannins, long, fresh and chiseled. Beautiful details on the edges, with a seam of salty liquorice and oregano. Powerful but with appealing drinkability.
