Summertime earthy wine. It’s the cranberry, the seashell, the all-red-berries plus forest floor. — a year ago

Misno Vino

Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Communion wine, originally made by the famous Josip Strossmayer in Djakovo, Croatia. Still made and sold by the church to this day. Needed to open up a bit, but worth the wait. Lively aroma, blueberries and cotton candy. Perfectly balanced, and a really pleasant finish. Only paid 35 kuna (about $5) at the Cathedral in Djakovo, but would (gladly) pay much more back home. — 6 years ago

Clos Mogador

Gratallops Priorat Red Blend 2019

At the Clos Mogador tasting at the winery yesterday. This is the flagship - a blend of 45% Garnatxa, 29% Carinyena, 16% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Red and blue fruits, also red and blue florals. Full bodied and again 15% ABV. Persistent tannins. The more I drink Priorat the more it reminds me of CdP with influences of garrigue ie lavender, thyme, rosemary etc which grow in isolated patches amongst the vineyards when we drove around. Our host, Josip, said he likes to drink this Cuvée at 8 to 15 years but he went on to say that Rene Barbier’s father liked to drink at 20+ years as the wine becomes more silky and develops more liquorice notes. I bought a bottle of the 2004 from their cellar to take home. — 2 years ago
