Tasting note
Following the Torres style, the 2012 Salmos is a nicely-crafted, safe blend of Cariñena, Garnacha and Syrah from Priorat with the classical aromas of shoe polish, graphite and ripe black fruit with a generous dose of oak-related aromas, spices, smoke and something balsamic. The palate is very balanced, with fine, polished tannins and very correct acidity. Drink: 2015-2018. Score - 90. (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, June 2015)
Under the purplish red colour, the nose is intense and complex. Enjoy this dry, medium-bodied and woody red featuring lively acidity. On the palate, it showcases firm tannins and a broad mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.
Dark red with violet hints. Intense aroma with candied fruit, notes of cocoa and brown sugar. Roasted, spicy notes with sweet tannins that fade slowly and culminate in a long, elegant finish.
Dark in hue and almost opaque. It is fragrant and mineral on the nose; while on the palate it is luxurious and oily, but also silky and with a long finish. This darkly coloured wine is reminiscent of jam and liquorish, over a smooth spicy and toasted background, which comes from The French oak barrels.
