Álvaro Palacios Tasting Notes
Due to its extraordinary quality and attractive price, Les Terrasses has acquired a passionate following all its own. Alvaro relies on some of Priorat's finest small growers to produce this wine; to get the best fruit from the steepest and oldest vineyards, he has been known to offer them three times the going rate. Les Terrasses consists of approximately 30% Garnacha, 60% Cariñena, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine Spectator
This supple, medium-bodied red offers berry, chocolate and savory flavors, with good balance and a fresh, floral finish. Not showy, but has grace and length. Drink now through 2014. 12,000 cases made. —Thomas Matthews, 90 points

Wine Advocate
The 2007 Les Terrasses is the same blend as the Camins cuvee but entirely sourced from old vines. It spent 12 months in 20% new French oak. Aromas of mineral, Asian spices, espresso, black cherry, and black raspberry lead to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, smooth-textured wine. Savory, moderately structured, and approachable, it may evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 6-8 years. —Jay Miller, 92 points
