Guía Peñin (92/100)
R. Parker (91+/100)
The 2022 Plaer, also a blend of Cariñena and Garnacha from four old vineyards in different villages from Priorat, fermented with indigenous yeasts with two weeks of maceration and aged in French oak barrels, 20% of them new, with very light toast for 12 months. Like the other Ritme wines, it's ripe and comes in at 15% alcohol, with a powerful nose of dry herbs, hay, straw and esparto grass. It has a lush, big and powerful palate with concentration and abundant tannins but with a certain freshness. It finishes dry.
Decanter (91/100)
Juicy berry and cherry tones touched by spice and a hint of violet. Generous yet poised, finishing clean and lasting with a bright, expressive and savoury core.
