96 points from Robert Parker.
“1995 Clos Erasmus Priorat - 96 pts The 1995 Clos Erasmus's levels of extract and richness are nearly off the chart. Only 280 cases were produced of this wine, which tips the scales at 14.6% alcohol. The wine had been open for 24 hours before I tasted it, yet it revealed no signs of oxidation or fruit deterioration! This is not a wine for the shy. It is a huge, massive, powerhouse example with a dense, port-like purple color, and aromas of macerated black fruits intermixed with minerals and French oak. Huge in the mouth, with extraordinary purity, this wine is almost too much of a good thing - but I loved it! Give it 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades. RP”

Clos Erasmus is a popular and critically acclaimed wine producer based in Gatallops in the Priorat region of northeast Spain, producing an eponymous label made from old-vine Garnacha (locally "Garnatxa") and Syrah. Officially known as Clos i Terrasses (Clos Erasmus is the flagship wine), Glorian established the estate in 1989 with help from now-well established local powerhouses René Barbier of Clos Mogador and Alvaro Palacios.
Clos Erasmus is routinely praised by critics and is one of the few Spanish wines to have received 100 points from US wine critic Robert Parker.
