Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Intense nose bursting with health. Good, ambitious wine with everything set in balance for the future. More life to it than the previous wine of this pair tasted blind (Torbreck, Hillside Vineyard Grenache 2016). Very fresh and vigorous. Though not ready. (JR)

The flagship and eponymous 2019 Clos Mogador is nothing short of phenomenal. They have done a lot of improvements in the vineyard work since the arrival of Christian, son of René Barbier, who is big-time into regenerative agriculture. They are abandoning barrels and going for more and more foudres (they started the transition in 2011, and in 2020 it was 100% foudre). As I see in other wines from 2019, the wine has lots of everything, stuffing, power and concentration but also balance. This has to be one of the finest vintages ever for Mogador; it's a compact wine with lots of aging potential. 28,000 bottles produced. It was a year of good quality and quantity.
