elegant, glorious, smooth as the airbrushed visage of Jennifer Lopez 2006 Clos Mogador (40% Grenache, 15% Carignan, 28% Cabernet- Sauvignon, 17% Syrah)….Cadbury dairy milk fruit and nut chocolate. Northern Thai victuals from Gedhawa. very yummy…especially the Nam Phrik. Happiness without The Noble Grape would be akin to trundling leisurely towards our inevitable demise with trepidation 😱 and, well, sans joy 🤗.

A really enjoyable Mogador, still going strong. Delightful acidity with some aged garnacha funk. Rustic and still smooth. Great with food (at least some artisanal French baguette with Roy Estate olive oil + my wife’s homemade minestrone).

Love Clos Mogador and the 2006 did not disappoint. Needed 1 - 2 h before it became full harmony. Great acidity that balances out the fruit. Beautiful blend; 40% Grenache, 15% Carignan, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Syrah. Will develop even more, but there are now also some ripeness notes in a good combo with the fresh fruit. Drink or hold.

Deep ruby color. Aromas of prunes, dried cherry, figs, chocolate, leather, smoke. Medium+ acidity, smooth tannins. Taste of dried cherries, plums, chocolate, spice. Intense and long. Needs decanting.
