Mas d’en Gil 2009 Clos Fontà Red (Priorat)

Country: Spain / Clos Fontà
Variety: Red Blend Catalonia
Winery: Mas d’en Gil / Priorat

Gorgeous from head to toe, this opens with cedar, maple, blackberry and the essence of schisty minerality. On the palate, it’s tannic and firm but not overpowering. Flavors of blackberry, cassis, fig and vanilla finish with chocolaty notes and more than enough leftover berry fruit. Hold until 2017, then drink through 2024.
