Description
Its color is surprisingly intense compared to previous vintages. Bright, airy and deep, it delights us with a lush appearance in which clear violet notes on a ruby background can be distinguished. The wine initially evokes notes of red fruits on a well defined floral background. Rose and violet notes quickly appear. These are surrounded by increasing complexity in which cocoa and cassis are clearly distinguished. Gradually, as it aerates, the wine’s aroma expands and characteristic notes of orange blossom appear. In the month it is opulent and very unctuous. Almost immediately its intense, agreeable texture caresses the palate giving very pleasant sensations and leaving us with a pleasant and long finish.

I think the 2013 Espectacle del Montsant suffered when tasted next to its ‘cousins’ from Clos Mogador. This pure Garnacha from old vines in the village of La Figuera in Montsant showed a waterfall of red fruit and violets with subtle touches of spices in an elegant way. The palate is pure silk, quite fruit-driven with moderate acidity and silky tannins, but somehow I was expecting a little more tension and spark; I found it a little shy and not as vibrant as one would wish in a vintage like 2013. I mean, it’s delicious and elegant, really pleasant, but the bar had been set too high already.
