  Superbe. Évolutif sur 120 minutes.
  Complexe autant au nez qu'en bouche.
  La description de Derek est très actuelle.

  Best of Spain Zoom tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour almost lightly gold. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fresh flowers, tangerine, citrus lemon and orange peels, chalky minerals. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), medium+ body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of tangerine, mandarin oranges, quince, citrus lemon + orange peels, dollops of ripe lemon pulp + melon with oily waxiness, puffs of chalky minerality. Very textural - ?some skin contact? Hints of bitter nuttiness lurking in the background. Long finish.
  Very very good quality. Very fragrant on the nose, and complex on the palate. Can improve with a bit more age.
  Blend of Grenache Blanc and Viura (Macabeo). No Viognier in this vintage, but still such a floral nose!

  Clos Mogador Nelin Priorat 2015
  SAQ N° 13391493 69$
  Ouvert au resto AVV La Prunelle sur Duluth avec un groupe d'amis.
  Pas carafé, il était fermé à double tour. Bouchon, reverrons le lendemain.
  Le lendemain, c'est encore assez discret, un peu d'herbe sauvage et melon.
  La bouche est aussi un peu mince mais avec un très joli arrière gout persistant salin.
  Bouteille pas franchement déviante mais franchement fermée. À des kilomètres du 2014 que j'avais bu sur place qui était tant exubérant. J'ai deux autres fioles, à voir plus tard.
  NR

  Tasted over 2 days.
  Unusual nose: initially dominated by hay and smokiness, however, the smokiness gave way to melon and lime. Unlike anything else I have tasted, Interesting rather than offputting.
  On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, dry with modest acidity but high in alcohol. Good finish that is very balanced and does not develop a bitter note despite the high alcohol.
  Very interesting and stimulating wine, good value for money.

  Tasting of the Utrecht Wine Society (Utrecht, NL): Tasted blind. Grenache Blanc and Maccabeu. Quite a funky nose, apricot fullness, firm bitters, very floral flavours, good length. I had no idea what to make of this, but Chris nailed it on the head. I was deeply impressed - but more by Chris than by the wine.
