The 2012 Clos Mogador is nothing short of spectacular. They started in 1999 with some Cari?ena, and they gradually increased the Garnacha and reduced the Cabernet. 2012 is possibly the vintage of Mogador with less Cabernet, as it didn't behave well in such warm year. René Barbier senior tells me it reminds him of the freshness of the 2000 that he generously uncorked for me to compare; they only have a handful of bottles for the old vintages! The nose of this 2012 is still little reticent but not reduced like many vintages in the past, slowly showing a great Mediterranean-Atlantic balance with notes of herbs, wet slate and graphite. The super-elegant palate offers great acidity and freshness with incredibly layered and delineated flavors that have an electric, mineral sensation with tension and really fine tannins. There are no traces of oak and no edges... rugged silk? This is a Mogador for decades. If this is always a bargain for the quality it delivers, it is even more so in 2012!

Ripe fruit flavors of plum and cassis are framed by smoky, earthy and tarry notes that add depth to this lively red. Features a plush texture, with light, firm tannins and balsamic acidity keeping this focused through the spicy finish. Drink now through 2024. 2,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
