hence my question mark

earth and plenty of sauvage characters

graphite and pressed rose petal scents that burst from the glass

Alvaro Palacios, Priorat Aubaguetes Size:12x375ml hence my question markThere is a new wine in Palacios's portfolio, and no, it's not a white. It's another red and, in the hierarchy, is more expensive than Finca Dof but cheaper than L'Ermita. The first vintage is the 2015 Les Aubaguetes, a single ancient vineyard in the village of Bellmunt that used to contribute to the blend of Les Terrasses. It's a blend of 80% Garnacha, 19% Cariena and 1% white grapesGarnacha Blanca and Macabeofermented with natural yeasts in foudre,
