A new find we grabbed at Clos Mogador in Priorat created by Sara Perez and Rene Barbier Jr. with another six friends, making it the "vineyard of the 8" & we visited this small plot 😍 Will benefit from 5-10 years ageing 😉 Very nicely made & balanced just young 👍

Whoa. Charcoal, brambly dark berries, flint, tobacco, a hint of mint, rich and high toned - huge bass notes that turn into a beautiful crescendo. That's a wake up call. — 10 years ago

This is the 2004. Black fruit, spice, dry earth, black tea, talc, sweet prunes, toffee, caramel, something just starting to be smoky, and an aged-Riesling petrol effect come through on the nose. Palate is beautifully balanced with a slight brightness and a strong pencil lead texture. Finish is long and fantastic. Wow. Nice wine at a nice time. — 10 years ago

When visiting Priorat (which I highly recommend doing btw 😍) you’ll hear a lot about the 5 founders who are featured on this special limited edition of only 1,050 bottles with grapes from Clos Mogador, Clos Martinet & Partida Bellvisos 🤩 A rare bottle @ €130 from @vilaviniteca 👍 ping @gabymeetswine if you want one as it’s nearly all gone 😁

📍 Sara Pérez & René Barbier 2007 Special 75th Anniversary Vila Viniteca

🍷 Rich deep opaque ruby

👃 Fresh clean cut cedar, soft mint & light menthol jump out through the earthy dark cherry, raspberry & blackberry as the smokey oak seeps through rock minerals w/ herbs, cocoa, blackcurrant & prune - a nostril tease w/ a nasal fondle 😍

👄 Med creamy silky body of cherry, raspberry & black berry/currant w/ cocoa, mineral, date & a touch of blueberry

🎯 Long touch mineral dry dark cherry/berry fruit controlled blast w/ a raspberry cocoa kick

Trotz der 14,5 recht schlank, schön würzige Nase, aber auf die Dauer doch recht eintönige Frucht und zu wenig Tiefgang, gut gemachter Mainstream der schmeckt — 9 years ago

2009. Soft, plush, berry fruit driven, effortless. Priorat that goes down a little too easily. But no one's complaining when it does. #WorkWine — 10 years ago
