98 Robert Parker
One of only two Vins de Finca Qualificada from Priorat, the 2013 Clos Mogador is a complex blend of Garnacha and Cariñena with a touch of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. It felt serious and a little backward, terribly balanced with shy notes of peat and graphite emerging with some time in the glass, subtle and complex, slowly revealing nuances of dark cherries, violets, black olives and later some red fruit. The palate is surprising: when I expected it to show its power, it just whispered and danced on my tongue with lively acidity that made it feel a lot lighter than it is. There is depth, elegance and incipient complexity. Here everything is in perfect harmony, with lots of everything, dry extract, acidity, alcohol and tannin, but somehow you don't notice any of it. A remarkable vintage of Mogador. Given the quality, the price seems like a bargain, and availability shouldn't be too bad either, as some 28,000 bottles were filled in June 2015. Put it aside in your cellar, because this is a 20-year bottle of Priorat.

Clos Mogador
Au cœur de la région vinicole du Priorat, sur les collines sauvages au dessus de Tarragone et non loin de la côte nord-est de l’Espagne, le Clos Mogador a été conçu dans les années 1980 par René Barbier. Formé en Bourgogne puis à l’Université de Bordeaux, ce dernier a également fait des stages dans plusieurs domaines et châteaux en France, dont le Château Pétrus. Les vignobles du Clos Mogador s’étalent sur des coteaux en terrasses à proximité du village de Gratallops, où ils profitent d’un terroir de schiste exceptionnel. S’appuyant à la fois sur ses connaissances et sur des techniques de vinification modernes, René Barbier fait preuve d’un grand sens du détail. Dans le vignoble, il favorise la biodiversité en plantant des arbres fruitiers, des amandiers et des oliviers, de même que des fleurs. Considéré comme un excentrique, il persiste et signe, en se distinguant toujours plus des producteurs locaux, notamment à travers son encépagement, son recours à un pressoir vertical centenaire récupéré dans une vieille cave, de même que l’utilisation de cuves en bois ou en béton, qu’il préfère à l’inox. La vinification a lieu dans des cuves en bois ouvertes et ses vins sont non filtrés. En découlent des vins superbes, et le Clos Mogador suscite un véritable culte international.
