釀酒師Álvaro Palacios接連受Decanter、葡萄酒大師協會封為年度釀酒大師，是1970年代留法釀酒師返鄉潮的年輕人之一；採取法式釀造風格。當時之艱辛，僅有5人堅持下來，至今使Priorat成為西班牙最創新、細緻、要求品質卻又遵循古老釀酒歷史的產區。吸引世界焦點重回Priorat的五人幫當中，最知名的即屬Alvaro Palacios!
正是這支酒，翻轉了Priorat，使其成為西班牙唯二的最高法定產區DOCa，入選RP的世界最偉大的酒莊之一，稀世珍釀世界百大葡萄酒之一，西班牙酒皇之名絕非虛傳

I tasted a ready-to-be-bottled tank sample of the 2003 L’Ermita. Typically there are 400-500 cases of this blockbuster, but because of the vintage’s tiny crop as well as a severe triage, only 240 cases were produced. This superb effort displays a black/blue/purple color along with a huge nose of creme de cassis, flowers, crushed rocks, and a hint of smoke. The wine is full-bodied and opulent, with tremendous structure, great definition and purity, and a huge, but elegant, persistent finish. It will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age, and last for 15 plus.
