Clos Mogador 2009

2009 Priorat, Catalonia.

The Clos Mogador 2009 Priorat is 44% Grenache, 21% Carignan, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Syrah. The wine was produced from a vineyard of 20 hectares which grows on a mountainous environment with terraces and hills situated at 350 metres high. The 2009 Clos Mogador was aged 18 months in barrels (50% new ageing barrels). The wine beautifully expresses its complex terroir and reveals a good aromatic finesse. Seductive notes of eucalyptus, vanilla and incense are given off. The palate reveals a precise and distinguished wine. The latter is intense and concentrated as well as perfectly balanced, the spices reappear on finish.
