| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by WildeMeeuw on 2/3/2009 & rated 88 points: 1992 Clos Mogador Priorat (Spain, Catalunya, Priorat) (Spanje, Catalunya, Priorat) Kleur: Robijnrood, ietsje minder kleur dan de 1991, Aroma / bouquet: Meer gesloten, wel wat indrukken van gedroogd en jammig fruit, hout, kruidig, ietsje 'gebrand'. Smaak / Afdronk: Prachtige volle smaak, wijn is zacht en heel mooi in balans. Krachtige zuren en stevige maar ronde tannines, de alcohol geeft de wijn een zekere rondheid. Prachtige lengte. Algemeen / potentieel: Prachtig en evenwichtig glas, de smaak maakt meer waar dan de neus doet vermoeden. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 9 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 7 = 88/100 (4233 views) | | | Tasted by Lorien on 12/3/2003 & rated 88 points: Ruby red color. Sweet, strong aromas of redcurrant, vanilla, chocolate, leather, apricot and what might resemble a little port. Full body, with concentrated flavors of some prunes, ripe fruit, pepper, licorice and little carob. Reasonable acidity, but lacking balance. The wine seems to have lost its fruitiness (or maybe just lacks it, though I believe this wine was a lot more fruity in the past), and has mouthful of tannins and oak that are too dominating and noticeable. Medium to long finish, with a heavy peaty aftertaste. Overall, the wine seems to have reached its peak, or possibly just past, and though I have only had the 95 and 99, Clos Mogador seems to shine at a much earlier age. I am hoping the 90, 91, 93 and 94 I have might change my mind. (11262 views) |

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-infoPrioratAbout 100 kilometers from Barcelona, Priorat originated as a distinct recognized wine region in 1932, and was approved in 1954.
