Mogador 2000 Priorat (Spain)

Purple/red.

Vinturi - creosote, grilled meat/oak char, earth nose with raspberry underneath.

Round, plush and deep. There's an almost subliminal acid edge that keeps this focused. Funny, reminds me of certain Paso wines given its textural characteristics and vague, but pleasing, flavors. Expected more, but even with the Vinturi treatment, this may still need air time.

$50
