Clos de l`Obac, situated in the esteemed Priorat region, produced this 1999 vintage under the renowned Costers del Siurana label. Crafted from 48% Grenache, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the remaining comprising small amounts of Syrah, Merlot, and Mazuelo, this wine exhibits a deep colour typical of Priorat`s concentrated terroir. The nose reveals a complexity of aromas, with earthiness and subtle spice, while the palate reflects its age with matured tannins and integrated acidity. The producer, founded in 1996, is known for its commitment to minimal intervention, allowing the characteristic of the land to shine through.

Robert Parker
The impressive 1999 Clos de l`Obac is produced a blend of Grenache and Carignan vines ranging in age from 50-100 years, and yields were kept to a microscopic 14 hectoliters per hectare . The wine spent 14 months in new French oak. Sadly, there are only 200 cases for the United States. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by a sweet nose of raspberry liqueur intermixed with black currants, minerals, and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied and rich, with moderate levels of tannin, decent acidity, excellent delineation, and a long, concentrated finish, it is still youthful and unformed. Anticipated maturity. 2005-2018. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
