Clos Mogador 2005 is a pioneering Priorat wine bottled under the Vi de finca Qualificada` classification. The winery, founded by renowned winemaker René Barbier in the 1980s, utilises its own estate fruit, resulting in limited production of around 2,000 cases. This vintage showcases a blend primarily of Garnacha, alongside Carinena, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, with vines averaging over 80 years old. Notably deep in colour, the wine exhibits aromas of blackberry, mineral notes and integrated oak, with ageing potential extending into the 2030s.

Vinous
(a blend of garnacha, cabernet sauvignon, syrah and carinena) Opaque violet. A head-spinning bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, cherry liqueur, cola, candied plum, mineral and floral scents, along with a suave undercurrent of spicy oak. Deeply concentrated dark berry and cherry preserve flavors are impressively powerful and ripe, but improbably fresh too. Chewy tannins build on the finish but are overwhelmed by the intense, powerful fruit. This is a beast right now and in need of at least seven to ten more years in a cool cellar, maybe more. Then serve it with the richest red meat dish you can come up with. Josh Raynolds1st July 2008
