  My impression is quite similar to Josh Raynold's note many years ago: Explosive spice-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits and incense. The fleshy, sweet, expansive palate offers concentrated blueberry and cherry compote flavors, along with suggestions of licorice and earthiness. Yes, I stole most of that, but it fits. Still good structure, chewy tannins, long finish and good lift. An excellent wine overall.

  What a wine . Simply spectacular after a splash decant. This was on the young side out of a cold cellar. What a fantastic balanced concentration, long and fresh even if this was a hot vintage . Easily 94 pts and a true bargain by any standard.

  Dark red. Not much brown so see here. Very fresh, but the fruit has somewhat disappeared. Not sure where it goes from here.

  Final bottle of four. Not decanted. I'm a big fan of this producer in general, vintage after vintage. My experience is that they tend to shine best at 6-8 years of age, and not 10+, as would a top CdP. The tertiary flavors are starting to take over, and they aren't as enjoyable as what they're displacing. But for the record, everyone agreed this was still our WOTN.

  #2 WOTN for me and really starting to peak. Gorgeous infusion of secondary flavors. I think Clos Mogador is underrated in the world of top Grenache. It consistently delivers for me more than all but a few CdP. A great wine, time after time.
