Tasting notes
Deep, brilliant ruby-red. Ripe red berries and potpourri on the expansive, mineral-accented nose, with a sexy Asian spice quality adding complexity. Offers juicy, palate-staining raspberry and cherry liqueur and lavender pastille flavors that show superb precision and energy. A hint of white pepper adds spicy back-end cut. The floral and mineral notes carry through an impressively long, focused finish that's given shape by fine-grained, even tannins.

Mid-deep ruby-purple. Needs coaxing from the glass, but there’s plenty of density of rock, rich strawberry and blackberry fruit, liquorice and nutty spice. Compact, firmly structured and dense, with plenty more to give. Lovely core of freshness here. Classy. (TJ)
I love the 2015 Clos Martinet, which I find complex and elegant while keeping the Priorat rustic character found in the best vintages, like 2000. It's balanced, and the palate feels ethereal for the concentration it has. The tannins are abundant but very fine-grained, and there is a sense of harmony that is captivating. A great Clos Martinet. I had the chance to drink the 2000 a few days before I tasted this, and it remains one of the best years they have produced. 2015 is also among the best years. The favorites for Sara Pérez are 2009, 2013, 2015 and 2017. 12,000 bottles were filled in April 2017.
