Vall Llach 1998

Tasting notes

"This is an impressive debut effort. The 1998 Vall Llach (800 cases produced) is a blend of 50% Carignan (from 80-year old vines) and 50% Merlot (5-10-year old vines), aged one year in new French oak. It is an impressive, powerful (15.1% alcohol) wine revealing a deep purple color in addition to a sweet nose of black raspberries, cherry liqueur, and graphite aromas. Full-bodied, thick, and juicy, with moderately high tannin, superb purity, and a Bordeaux-like structure to its flavors and finish, it will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, and age well for two decades. "

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

From its founding in the early 1990s, by famed Spanish singer Lluis Llach and notary Enric Costa, Celler Vall Llach has been governed by a commitment to rigor and quality. The winery lies in the tiny village of Porrera, in southern Catalonia, in the highly-acclaimed D.O.Q. Priorat.

The magnificent century-old vineyard estates of Celler Vall Llach are home to 60- to 90-year-old Carinena and Garnacha vines.

The resulting wines—Vall Llach, Idus, and Embruix— have received high critical acclaim. Vall Llach, the winery's flagship wine, is a blend of Cariñena, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
