Clos Mogador (750ML)
From Priorat
| Vintage: | 2018 |

| Description: | 98 Wa / 95 De. The flagship 2018 Clos Mogador is a blend of 45% Garnacha, 29% Cariñena, 16% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that fermented with natural yeasts and showcases their philosophy-slow fermentations with long maceration and long aging. It matured for 18 months in 2,000-liter oak vats and 30% in 300-liter oak barrels. There was a lot of rain in 2018, and the vineyards were extremely happy and everything seemed very easy; in fact, René Barbier told me it was perhaps too easy. It's an atypical year: It has a gentle profile, and the wines are not as concentrated as those from 2013 (the last rainy year before 2018)-they are more elegant and nuanced. This should develop beautifully in bottle. 27,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.--Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate. Subtle dark cherry notes with a touch of fig, porcini, minor earthy notes, ginger spice and black pepper, delicate floral notes at the fringes. Well fruited if a bit of jumpy at the moment as the fruit is still integrating with the tannins. Quite lengthy, linear acidity and a finish that is just starting to open up. - Miquel Hudin, Decanter. |
