Description

Quintessence même du vieux Carignan planté sur les sols schisteux du Priorat, Les Tosses est issu d'un vignoble de Torroja de Priorat culminant à 600 mètres d'altitude, orienté sud, dont Dominik Huber a perçu tout le potentiel de pureté et d'authenticité. A l'encontre de sa réputation injustifiée de rusticité, le Carignan révèle ici le meilleur de lui-même grâce à un magnifique travail de vinification respectueuse de l'environnement et sans artifice. Un grand vin qui révèle toute la beauté d'un Carignan sans fard.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2016 Les Manyes is a hard act to follow, but I could have said the pure Cariñena 2016 Les Tosses was a Garnacha, such is the elegance and the floral, nuanced nose! This might be the most elegant Cariñena out there. It comes from a very old, steep vineyard in the village of Torroja on very dark slate soils. It matured in an oak foudre, quite old, and there is a nice note of graphite and wet slate, red and black cherries and a spice touch. It has great freshness, good acidity and is fluid and relaxed, powerful yet elegant and harmonious. 2,668 bottles were filled in July 2018. - Luis Gutiérrez. 

Suckling:

The purity to this 100% cariñena is very, very impressive with rose petal, tar, asphalt and dark-fruit character. Full body. Tight and compact with beautiful depth and endless length. So much graphite and intensity. Chewy at the end. Drink after 2021.

Decanter:

Juicy and full of vivacity, with bright rustic tannin. Intense aromatics of raspberry and leather, quite austere but of great quality. Drinking Window 2019 - 2032.
