Daphne Glorian's Clos I Terrasses – Clos Erasmus 2020 is, without exaggeration, a cult wine within the Priorat region and has been among the world's absolute best for decades. Since the late 1980s, she has played a key role in the renaissance of this then virtually forgotten wine region. Clos Erasmus was one of the wines that put Priorat back on the international map. The wine Clos Erasmus 2020 is a cuvée of:
Produced from extremely low yields on the characteristic llicorella slate soils, this wine delivers exceptional concentration, precision, and depth. The style combines power with refinement: ripe dark fruit, floral nuances, subtle spiciness, and impressive minerality, carried by perfectly integrated wood and a monumental yet silky-smooth structure. This is not a wine that seeks to impress with muscle, but with complexity, layering, and balance.
100/100 Parker points – three-time award winner
The Wine Advocate (Robert Parker) previously awarded Clos Erasmus the maximum 100/100 points in 2004 and 2013. The 2020 vintage once again received the perfect score of 100 Parker points—a rare distinction reserved only for wines of exceptional class and aging potential. A wine with three perfect scores belongs to an extremely select group worldwide.
