"One of Espectacle's most elegant and refined vintages—a true elixir, according to *The Wine Advocate*!"

“The 2021 Espectacle del Montsant has a brilliant ruby color and a very fragrant, elegant nose, with no signs of overripeness. Since 2021 was a much cooler vintage, the wine is more elegant than ever (much like cooler vintages such as 2014), with good texture and very fine tannins. It offers an intoxicating nose of red berries and blood orange, violet, and a hint of spice, with lively flavors and a finish dominated by violet, which is lively, intense, clean, and very long. It is complex, precise, nuanced, and constantly evolving in the glass. This is certainly one of Espectacle’s most elegant and refined vintages, showcasing the natural freshness of the year. Bravo! There are approximately 7,500 bottles of this elixir. 2024–2036” (Robert Parker 2024)
