Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

Wine Advocate, 98 Points, May 2026 : When I first put my nose in the glass of the 2023 Clos Mogador, I felt the freshness of spring flowers and lots of herbs, but the wine was a little closed and shy. I'm always excited when facing a new vintage of Clos Mogador, a wine that has been very important for Priorat and for my understanding of the Mediterranean. This year, the wine feels very balanced and has more elegance, and it's fine-boned and with very fine tannins. It's focused, clean and very neat; it doesn't feel chameleonic like some years when its young. This is more energetic, and there's no concern about the body; it's powerful and has abundant tannins, a wine for the long run. This is a step up in precision, freshness and elegance. It's subtle and elegant despite the notable ripeness. It fermented with 100% uncrushed grapes. They are removing the Cabernet and Syrah (in 2025, the wine is approximately 50% Cariñena and 50% Garnacha), and they are using less and less barriques. This is a very serious Mogador.

Tim Atkin, 97 Points, March 2026: A more classic style of Mogador, grounded in graphite, dark earth and smoke with ripe dark fruit beneath, still coiled and gathering itself. These wines have undergone such a change in the last 10 years and they’re all the better for it. Whilst not cheap, this must surely represent some of the best value for money in fine wine. Achingly good.

Jeb Dunnuck, 95 Points, November 2025 : A grand estate wine, the 2023 Vinya Classificada is carried by Carinyena and blended with Garnatxa, a little bit of Syrah and some Cabernet Sauvignon, aged all in foudres. Full-bodied and powerfully built, it has a dark, dusty, savory quality of earthy minerality, salinity, and elongated tannins, built to go another 20-25 years.

Vinous, 94 Points, November 2025 : The 2023 Clos Mogador from Priorat blends 45% Garnatxa, 40% Cariñena, 8% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Complex in expression, it opens with black and red fruit ranging from black cherry to soft pomegranate, together with balsamic spices. Compact and grippy on the palate, it shows delicacy in the background flavors. A wine of richness, it reflects the character of the vintage.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Suggested pairings include roast lamb, grilled beef and slow-braised dishes. Allow the wine time in the glass or a decanter when opening young to explore its layered character.
