Clos Mogador 2005, Priorat, Spain

The second bottle brought by Piroca. A strong sulfurous nose, which dissipated with time, did not take away from this interesting wine. It was the favorite tonight (not uncle Winepath's ). "Puckery", sour cherry, layered and highly extracted. A serious wine, it was Piroca's favorite while in Madrid, one month ago. R.P. gave it 98 points. Uncle K ( "a tempranillo") and Jimmy had correctly identified it as spanish. Blend of carignan, cab sauvignon and syrah. A 3 to 3+.
