A rare wine 98 RP wine from Clos Mogador we grabbed at the winery for €180 that’s needs a big decant to free the powerful yet elegant complexities that stir within 😍 still totally overpriced I think 🤔
📍 Clos Mogador Espectacle del Montsant 2007 (more pics of label ⏩ on Instagram)
🐮 Paired w/ slow cooked beef 🥩 & Mrs Es Mac cheese 🧀 👌 but was better w/ beef vs cheese 😉
🏵 96 points
🍇 100% Grenache from 120+ year old vines
🍷 Deep garnet ruby w/ brown edge
👃 Spiced peppery black cherry, smoke, earthy truffle & a touch of red berry fruits w/ a subtle gravel flinty minerality
👄 An elegant med body of intense ripe concentrated black cherry silkyness that’s not overpowering incredibly w/ earthy truffled red berry fruits & dry rich stoney rock minerals
🎯 Long earthy dark cherry, red berry & slight blackberry earthy touch dry stone mineral linger
