I loved the 2015 L’Arbossar, which is 100% old vine Carinyena from a cooler north facing terroir that spent two years in a single foudre. Fermented with 100% stems, its deep ruby, mostly opaque color is followed by a...

The old-vine Cariñena 2015 Arbossar has a distinct note of licorice that grows in the glass. By working the vineyard with compost, they have managed to increase yields around 15%, and they feel the grapes achieve better...

Brilliant violet color. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, Moroccan spices, candied licorice, espresso and smoky minerals, with a sexy floral nuance emerging as the wine stretches out. Appealingly...

The 2015 Terroir al Limit Priorat Arbossar is a standout red wine from Spain’s Priorat region, crafted by the esteemed producer Terroir al Limit. This wine is an intriguing proprietary blend dominated by old-vine Cariñena, providing a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas that have impressed critics.

James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive 95 points, noting its "amazingly vivid cherries, wild herbs, and licorice" with a "stunning texture on the palate" due to its exceptional tannin structure. Suckling highlights the wine's "devastatingly fresh and mineral" finish, suggesting it is just starting to reveal its depths, suitable for drinking now or holding.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, through reviewer Luis Gutierrez, also gave it 95 points, praising its distinct licorice note and fresh blue fruit and violet characteristics. Gutierrez emphasizes the vineyard’s challenging north-facing, 90-year-old slopes that contribute to the wine's floral and fresh profile, remarkable for a warm year like 2015.

Jeb Dunnuck echoes these sentiments, awarding another 95 points and describing the wine as having a "sensational perfume of blackberries, black raspberries, liquid violets, gunpowder, and undeniable minerality." He appreciates its rich yet elegant nature, recommending it for consumption over the next decade.

Vinous’ Josh Raynolds also rated the wine 95 points, lauding its "intensely perfumed bouquet" and "harmonious tannins" that contribute to a "strikingly long, mineral- and floral-driven finish."

Lastly, Wine & Spirits awarded it 95 points as well, noting its complex aroma with notes of raw meat, spices, and ripe red fruit. They commend the wine's "vibrant freshness" and suggest it needs more time to reach maturity.

Overall, the 2015 Terroir al Limit Priorat Arbossar is a compelling choice for those seeking a complex, fresh, and elegantly structured red wine.
