The brainchild of Léo Cuisinier and Lucas Chazallet, this vintage delivers an explosion of flavor and freshness on the nose. Slight floral and gourmand notes. The style of the great Priorats is in the glass. Ample and beautifully balanced. The texture is very fluid and dynamic. Great, complex length, Aguilera 2011 is a multi-faceted wine: a sensation of opulence, a slight smokiness bounces back delicately before a powerful but very fresh finish. Great potential.
