Gratallops 2024

Narrative Tasting Note

In the glass, Gratallops by Álvaro Palacios displays a bright, deep, pure ruby-red color of high density with noble purple and garnet highlights. The nose immediately unfolds a magnetic, complex, and delicate bouquet: ripe red and dark fruit aromas —such as dark cherries, wild strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries— emerge harmoniously intertwined with violet petals, sweet pepper, imperceptible oak, thyme, rosemary, and a deep cold licorella slate and graphite mineral undertone. On the palate, it delivers a broad, warm entry with a surprisingly velvety texture; its mid-palate is fleshy, fluid, and poetically elegant, featuring silky tannins of supreme finesse balanced by lively saline acidity that preserves overall freshness. An extraordinarily long, persistent, mineral, and delightful finish leaves an unforgettable echo of fresh fruit and heroic terroir.
