Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 7, 2004 - I have been lucky so far to drink six different vintages of Clos Mogador, and though I have mostly enjoyed this wine, it has never overwhelmed me. The 93 though did, and in my opinion is in a VERY different league right now than any other vintage I have tasted (91,92,94,95,99,2000), though I have yet to try the much-praised 2001. Hopefully I will very soon. 93 was an excellent vintage in Priorat, and this wine truly shows its greatness. On to my notes…
Dark ruby red with noticeable fading around the rim. Intense and fantastic aromas of chocolate, ripe wild fruits and loads of prunes. Full body with massive concentration, that is actually quite overwhelming, though pretty elegant and definitely not aggressive. Incredibly tasty flavors of wild fruits, plums, a little chocolate and some carob. Good balance, with now integrated though noticeable tannins, perfect acidity and just the right level of oak in the background. Huge finish that goes on for what seems forever, providing a very appealing aftertaste. Overall this is a blockbuster. A fantastic very rich wine that provides everything and more for true enjoyment. It is though very straight forward, yet loaded with personality, with a really enjoyable structure and feel. I would estimate this wine has at least five more years to reach its peak, with many more to hold it through for further cellaring. One of the best Priorats I have had so far!
