Opened and poured at a restaurant. Deep, even ruby. Striking at first are the strong licorice and menthol on the nose, an elegant medium weight and feel, slightly grippy tannins, and wonderfully penetrating crisp acids. As it opens, discrete dark red fruit, citrus, and bitter chocolate arrive, and the tannins ameliorate. Youthful but very complex and poised. Something about this really reminded me of drinking Bordeaux even though this leaned more toward fruit, and it was not just the shape of the bottle. We really enjoyed this.

Superb Priorat: fig, tobacco, cherry, plum, oak, leather, blackcurrant, dried herbs, black olive, full body, great balance and dito finish.

Priorat wine fair 2019 (and related events); 5/2/2019-5/9/2019 (Tarragona and various places in Priorat): For me Manyetes is always good, but not quite on the level of Clos Mogador. This time this was the case. It is a very good wine indeed, though. The price of these two wines is roughly the same.
