The 2020 Clos Mogador Vinya Classificada hails from a challenging Priorat vintage marked by significant rain and fungal issues, yet the winery successfully navigated these difficulties to produce a wine of remarkable power and balance. This vintage was matured exclusively in 2,000-liter oak foudres, resulting in a milder oak influence. It has garnered impressive critical acclaim, including 97 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and 95 points from Decanter. Clos Mogador, founded in 1979 by René Barbier, is a pioneering estate in Priorat, with vines rooted in the region's distinctive slate soils, known as 'licorella'. Expect an opaque black-purple colour with an intense, complex bouquet of ripe fruit, wild herbs, toasted bread, spices, and smoke. The palate is massive yet well-balanced, offering a fat richness, a dense structure of velvety tannins, and lively acidity. Flavours include crystallised fruit, pepper, chocolate, coffee, and the unique mineral tones of Priorat. High-toned, perfumed notes of raspberry, black cherry, plum, blueberries, sandalwood, and dried Mediterranean herbs are also prominent. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This powerful and complex red wine is an excellent match for robust dishes such as roast rack of lamb, braised beef, game (like venison), or strong, aged cheeses. 🥂 Event suggestions: Ideal for special occasions, celebratory dinners, or as a centrepiece for a fine dining experience. Its depth and structure also make it a superb choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking to explore top-tier Spanish wines. 【Highly acclaimed Priorat icon from a challenging vintage, showcasing power and balance】.
