Clos Erasmus 2003 is a vintage of great concentration and power, produced by Daphne Glorian at Clos i Terrasses, in the Priorat D.O.Q. This vintage blends 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. Contemporary reviews describe an opulent wine with an enveloping texture, firm structure, and a very long finish: a Priorat of tremendous depth and expressiveness.
