Clos Mogador Priorat 2001 97WA

"The 2001 Clos Mogador was described as “simply sensational” when first tasted by the most illustrious taster from Monkton. I would not disagree one bit. At 11 years “young,” it remains beautifully defined and fresh on the nose, with vibrant red berry fruit, slate and a hint of brine. The palate is medium-bodied with a wonderful entry: blackberry, black pepper, a touch of cumin and sea salt. It is blessed with outstanding definition and precision, with a gentle grip on the finish and dried blood on the aftertaste. This is a profound Priorat that has barely started to show what it can do!" — Wine Advocate, 97 pts
