A poised red with aromas of cherries, mixed berries, nutmeg and vanilla. Medium- to- full-bodied with velvety tannins. Supple and balanced with a silky texture and succulent fruit to the finish. Lightly jammy. Drink now.

The 2020 Torres Purgatori Costers del Segre is a red wine produced by Torres in the Catalunya region of Spain. This proprietary blend predominantly features 75% Garnacha and 25% Cariñena, made from vines planted in 2000 at a high altitude on sandy and limestone soils. The wine undergoes fermentation in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matures for 15 months in 2,000-liter foudres, as well as in new and used barriques. It has an alcohol content of 14.5%.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the 2020 Purgatori a score of 92. The review notes, "The wine has 14.5% alcohol and nice balance and juiciness. It is ripe and a bit heady, reflecting a much warmer year, with a fruit-driven nose and notes of plums." The wine's concentration and abundant tannins are highlighted, along with its production scale: 54,903 bottles, 740 magnums, and some larger formats, all bottled in May 2022.

James Suckling gave this wine a score of 91, remarking on its "poised red with aromas of cherries, mixed berries, nutmeg, and vanilla." He describes it as "supple and balanced with a silky texture and succulent fruit to the finish," adding that it is "lightly jammy" and best consumed now.

Wine Spectator also rated this wine at 91, describing it as "a bold, generous red, with flavors of black plum, currant, smoke, and toast framed by well-meshed, sculpted tannins and bright orange peel acidity." The review mentions additional "accents of black tea leaf, sandalwood and minerally iron and stone" that linger on the creamy finish. It's suggested to drink this wine now through 2028.

Wine Enthusiast gave the highest rating of 93, describing it as a "bright-red-colored wine" with a bouquet of "dark and red berries, anise seed and milk chocolate." It is noted for its "bold cherry and blackberry flavors accompanied by glossy tannins and notes of mocha, caramel, and clove," with a finish marked by a "bright splash of acidity."

Overall, the 2020 Torres Purgatori Costers del Segre is well-received by critics, praised for its balance, rich fruit flavors, and robust tannins.
