Clos Mogador Priorat 2022
DOZEN: $2,940.00 or $245.00 each
Their single-vineyard 2022 Clos Mogador, they flagship wine, was produced with a blend of grapes, mostly Garnacha and Cariñena but also some Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon It has a very Mediterranean nose with plenty of dry hay and straw notes, the classical wet slate notes, very Priorat too, and it has a round palate and very fine, chalky tannins. It's serious and harmonious and feels relaxed, without any excess. It comes in at 14% alcohol with 5.4 grams of acidity and a bone-dry finish. None of the 2022s showed excess heat or ripeness. The alcohol is contained and integrated, and the wines are balanced and harmonious but with a more Mediterranean profile. (97) LUIS GUTIERREZ
Distinctive for its region, this red blend defines its producer's turn towards greater freshness while retaining hearty generosity. Clos Magador brings juiciness of Garnacha in concert with generous acidity and deeper flavors of Cariñena. There is also a structural boost and spice that comes from them retaining a modest portion of whole clusters in the fermentation, rather than only the fruit. The 2022 vintage nevertheless offers a medium body and balance with a robust frame and deep flavor. ELAINE CHUKAN BROWN
A deep, soulful sort of wine. Graphite, dark earth and smoke contribute to the savoury characters here, though there's no shortage of ripe, dark fruits. Chalky, firm and gently floral. This will need some time to come out of its shell but the material is all there. Excellent! TIM ATKIN MW
