Mogador 2000 Priorat (Spain)

Deep red.

More evolved nose than the Mas Doix - earth, sl. game, smoke, Grenache cherry/strawberry. Seamless and unforced.

Round and relatively generous in the mouth, particularly for Priorat. A characteristic of Mogador. Acidity seems definitely lower here, which makes the abundant tannin distinctly gentler. But Mas Doix, I think, is based on Carignan, which tends to be higher in acidity and less "giving".

Very interesting contrast. Both wines have aged well and will continue to do so. But Mas Doix will benefit the most from extended cellaring.
