97 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Their single-vineyard 2022 Clos Mogador, the flagship wine, was produced with a blend of grapes, mostly Garnacha and Cariñena but also some Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon (less and less, as they are regrafting most of them). It fermented with 40% full clusters and matured in 2,000- and 2,500-liter oak foudres; some are old barriques, to avoid having too much new oak, and some lots finish aging in concrete to complete some 20 months. They have implemented some changes, moving toward larger volumes, abandoning the barriques and moving to foudre (with the low volumes in 2024, the wine will be only in foudre). It has a very Mediterranean nose with plenty of dry hay and straw notes, the classical wet slate notes, very Priorat too, and it has a round palate and very fine, chalky tannins. It’s serious and harmonious and feels relaxed, without any excess. It comes in at 14% alcohol with 5.4 grams of acidity and a bone-dry finish. None of the 2022s showed excess heat or ripeness. The alcohol is contained and integrated, and the wines are balanced and harmonious but with a more Mediterranean profile. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.
 
Winemaker Notes
Clos Mogador 2022 is a splendid expression of the Priorat terroir. It exhibits an intense garnet hue that beckons one to delve into its complex and well-balanced aromas. Upon approaching the nose, it reveals a rich bouquet of dark fruits such as ripe blackberries and plums, perfectly interwoven with subtle citrus hints of orange peel and sweet spices like cinnamon. On the palate, it astonishes with its silky texture and a long finish that imparts freshness, underpinned by well-integrated acidity. It concludes with a delicate floral note reminiscent of rose petals. The 2022 vintage has been exceptional, offering wines of great concentration and balance. This wine is ideal for those seeking an experience that combines intensity and elegance in every sip.
