2020 Clos Alkio Cabernet Sauvignon

Searching for tasting notes and pairings for the 2020 Clos Alkio Cabernet Sauvignon, I found that it is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Garnatxa (Garnacha) from the DOQ Priorat region of Spain, with an ABV of 15%. This wine offers dark-fruited aromas with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, earthiness, and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is full-bodied with dark cherry, herbal, and peppery notes, supported by velvety tannins and firm acidity, leading to a long finish. It is recommended to pair this wine with beef, lamb, poultry, and game.

A different vintage (2021) of the same wine is noted as being 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the 2020 vintage is consistently described as a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Garnatxa. While some sources mention it's 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it's important to use the verified facts provided for the 2020 vintage.

It's worth noting that some sources mention a 9-month aging period in French oak barrels, while others state 12 months. Given the verified facts are the most crucial, and the blend and ABV are confirmed across multiple sources, we will proceed with those.
