Medium intensity ruby , showing a little garnet on the rim . More open, elegant on the nose , more development. Touch of leather , spiced blackberry, touch or tar . More noticeable acidity and less notable body, elegant but also shorter and less complex. This is ready now , however will last , not sure if this will improve . The weakest of the vertical .

PnP, but could use some air. Still young. Dark fruit, plum, and chocolate on the nose. Medium acidity and blackberry in the mouth. Slightly flat with moderate depth. Medium minus finish that has great texture. Small upside surprise in my mind.

Luscious depth, full bodied and changes as it opens fully. Long soft finish. Excellent.

The '08 Clos Mogador Garnacha Blend from Priorat was a nice match with a charred rare ribeye. Aromas of blackberry, game and wood smoke lead to a most pleasant midpalate. A beautifully balanced wine that hits on all cylinders. Noticeable tannins, layered fruit, and a lingering finish make for a most impressive wine.
