| Appearance | The red wine Els Pics is medium purple with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon is very idiomatic. Aromas of red fruit, spices, toast and a dash of underbrush. In the background, a pulsating mineral remembrance. |
| Palate | Nice balance between the fruit and the wooden notes. This wine from the Mas Alta winery is gulpable and yummy, with a well-crafted acidity and crunchy tannins. Bold and substantial, the mineral nuances are extremely seductive. Long, persistent finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The red wine Els Pics 2023 is flavourful, honest and inviting. |
