Our favorite thing to drink when gathering with family and friends is a Magnum! One of my favorites is “Clos i Terrasses Laurel 2021” This intense and spectacular red wine from Priorat, Spain, is a masterful blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
This wine has an aroma filled with intense notes of fresh blackberries, cherries, and a hint of spice. It’s a dense, concentrated flavor with a velvety palate and a long, satisfying finish.
Aged for 16–18 months in a mix of vessels, showcasing the artistry of winemaking. Crafted from younger vines, this wine is super aromatic, floral, and expressive—clean, elegant, and ethereal. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it’s perfect for sipping now or cellaring until 2032! If you love deep intense wines, with structured deep tannins, this is a must try!

96 Points Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate “The 2021 Laurel, the second wine from Clos Erasmus was produced with grapes from younger vines, between five and 40 years old, and is a blend of 80% Garnacha, 11% Syrah and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were cooled down for 24 hours before sorting and destemming and then put in the vat where they warmed up and started fermenting naturally. They did a soft vinification with short pumping overs to avoid extraction, and the fermentation lasted two to three weeks followed by four weeks of maceration. The wine matured in oak vat, barrel and amphorae for 18 months. It’s super aromatic, floral and expressive, clean and elegant, delicate and ethereal. It has a velvety palate that is nicely textured, seamless, elegant and balanced and with a focused, clean, long finish. I see the meaty side of Syrah here. It has 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.3. The oak is completely integrated despite the fact that the wine is very young. 28,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.”
