Clos Mogador Priorat 2007

96 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$95 list] The flagship, the 2007 Clos Mogador is made up of 40% Garnacha, 20% Carinena, 20% Syrah, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is purple/black-colored with a sensational bouquet of mineral, truffle, espresso, black cherry, blueberry, and licorice. Dense and Reubenesque on the palate, it has great concentration, loads of savory fruit, impeccable balance, and several years of aging potential. Accessible now, this lengthy offering will be at its best from 2013 to 2027. It is one of the stars of the vintage in Priorat. (Apr 2010)"

94 points Peñín Guide: "(garnacha, cariñena, merlot, syrah) Colour: cherry, garnet rim. Nose: ripe fruit, powerful, warm, dark chocolate, toasty. Palate: flavourful, powerful, fleshy, spicy, round tannins. (2011)"

93 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "Glass-staining purple. Explosively perfumed aromas of blackberry, cherry-cola, candied licorice and black cardamom, with a smoky mineral undertone and a hint of fruitcake. Lush, decadent dark fruit flavors show a liqueur-like density but don't come off as heavy thanks to slow-mounting minerality and a touch of spicy black pepper. There's nothing shy about this, and while there's the ripeness and weight that I expect from this wine, there's also a brightness that bodes well for aging. (Sep/Oct 2010)"

4 stars, Highly Recommended Decanter: "Raisined nose, concentrated and intense. Mineral, powerful, sweet fruit, grainy tannins and a long, delicious, rich, figgy aftertaste. 2015-2030. (Nov 2010)"
