  Mi segunda añada, la primera fue la 2017 catada en Falset durante la feria del vino del Priorat de 2019. Esta edición de 2014 está elaborada con Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah y CS (58-25-10-7%) y tuvo 12 meses de crianza en barrica de roble francés. Alc. 15% vol. Color rubí con ligero ribete teja. Aromas terciarios de fruta cocida, tierra, especias varias. En boca es muy pulido y sutil, pero con buena fruta, acidez mantenida, cuerpo medio y final medio-largo. Muy placentero, incluso en razón de los recuerdos de Falset.

  Clos Figueras made their first wine in 1999 and apparently have only expanded since then. This is their second wine, from 15-18yr old vines. This vintage was 58pc Grenache, 25pc Carignan, 10pc Syrah and 7pc Cabernet. The wine typically sees 300-500L French one year old oak. 9,000 or so bottles produced according to the website.
  
  This is bright red in the glass. The nose mixes the sweet, pretty red lollies of both the Grenache and Carignan with a spicy, light cinnamon element. Underlying that is just a sense of serious, brooding darker fruits from the other components. The palate is juicy fruited and fruit forward at the open, but the flavours linger nicely and it closes with gentle persistence and a slight tannin furriness in the aftermath.
  
  Delightful wine. It carries its 15pc alcohol comfortably. Perhaps a touch ripe and exuberant for some, but I enjoy this style. I would drink fresh and young.
