Clos Erasmus 2020

Der Clos Erasmus aus dem renommierten Hause Clos i Terrasses gehört ohne Zweifel zum Besten, was Spaniens Weinberge zu bieten haben. Jahrgang für Jahrgang würdigt Robert Parker die Arbeit der Bodega mit einem großzügigen Punkteregen. Kein Wunder, dass sich jeder Weinkenner glücklich schätzt, wenn es ihm gelungen ist, ein solches Schätzchen für den eigenen Weinkeller zu ergattern.

Luis Gutiérrez vom Robert Parker Wine Advocate hat sensationelle 100 Punkte für diesen Wein vergeben:

"The still young and primary 2020 Clos Erasmus feels very floral and ethereal (within Priorat and Clos Erasmus); it's a fresher and lighter expression but without being weak. It's still a baby that needs to burn the baby fat (there are still some lactic notes from the malolactic in barrel). The wine is always around 3.2 or 3.3 pH and has some 15% to 15.5% alcohol, but the sensation this year is of a much fresher, more balanced and elegant wine. This should make an elegant bottle of mature Priorat with a decade in bottle, and I guess it will be long lived. Glorian mentioned that a small lot that normally goes to Laurel was added to the blend of Erasmus, resulting in a lot of added freshness and a note of orange blossom, which makes sense to me with the floral character of the wines and the extra freshness I perceived. This is really beautiful. It's a very special vintage of Erasmus that unfurls incredible complexity and tantalizing aromas with time in the glass—blood orange (talk about freshness!), curry and cassis. It has great purity, complexity, elegance and finesse... A very different Clos Erasmus. Bravo! There are some 3,600 bottles. It was bottled in May 2022." (Luis Gutiérrez, Sept. 2022)
