Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
If the Ekam resembles a kabinett, the 2021 Ekam Essència is reminiscent of a spätlese Riesling, with only 10.5% alcohol and 36 grams of sugar neatly balanced by 8.3 grams of acidity (and a pH of 2.79)—parameters of a German cool-climate white rather than a Mediterranean one from Spain. There is a faint touch of botrytis and kerosene here that is elegant and subtle, and the whole wine comes through as ethereal, transparent (even the color!) and crystalline, with purity and balance. It should develop nicely in bottle. I would love to have a time machine to see this wine in 10 years' time. As that's impossible, I'll ask Bobet to taste the 2010 again next time. 2,700 bottles were filled in July 2022.
