WTN: Clos Mogador Manyetes, Manso de Velasco Torres Chile
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 6:52 am
With a lunch of fideua (noodle paella) and Iberian chicken (slow roasted with lots of garlic).
Clos Mogador Manyetes Priorat 2001 - Not giving much on the nose. Very good, sweet, ripe fruit. Some cherry and coffee as well. Bright acidity adds a refreshing dimension and making this a very good food wine. Still a bit tannic. Finishes long. Drinking nicely now.
Miguel Torres Manso de Velasco Vinas Viejas Chile 2001 - Deep, young but approaching drinkability. Plum, coffee and chocolate flavors. Not quite integrated yet. Very dry with some allspice character coming through. Tannic. Needs maybe two more years before it comes all together. Not sure but I think this is pure Cabernet Sauvignon.
