Torres Description
A blend of Carinena, Garnacha and Syrah
The Purgatori estate has 200 ha (494 acres) of organic vineyards, spread over the valley and slopes that climb to 550 meters (1805 ft) at their highest point. The vineyards are very high quality thanks to the extreme continental climate, with a wide temperature variation in summertime. This, combined with the lack of water, favors a slow ripening of the grape, leading to wines with great aromatic intensity.
James Suckling: 92 Points
Dark cherries, plums, chocolate, vanilla and cedar on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with polished tannins. Layered and creamy.
Vinous Media: 92 Points
Dark, bright-rimmed violet. Dark berries, cherry pit and licorice on the pungent nose, along with an emerging floral nuance. Broad and fleshy, showing very good depth and a hint of smokiness to bitter cherry and cassis flavors. Turns sweeter and livelier on the long, penetrating finish, which features mouthwatering acidity and sneaky tannins.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
This bold, spicy red shows suave tannins that enfold smoky currant and boysenberry flavors, underpinned with hot stone, wild herb and tar elements.
