Clos Figueras, Clos Figueres Priorat Red

Clos Figueres has a denser rich ruby colour with wonderful scents of ripe blackberries and blueberries intermingled with the rich mineral flavours of a great Priorat. On the palate Clos Figueres is approachable with pure intense flavors and a lush smooth texture. Loaded with fresh red and black fruit, intermixed with minerals and spices, the finish is long and smooth. A delight for drinking over the next 12 to 15 years.

Clos Figueras, Clos Figueres Priorat Red 2020	94+ Wine Advocate The very young 2020 Clos Figueres has notes of esparto grass and other Mediterranean herbs and flowers. Despite having similar alcohol levels to the 2018 and 2019 I tasted next to it, this 2020 feels a little lighter, but it is still powerful and has abundant, fine-grained tannins that are going to require some time in bottle to get resolved. 5,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Clos Figueras, Clos Figueres Priorat Red 2021	93 Wine Advocate The 2021 Clos Figueres feels quite oaky and undeveloped. It was produced with Garnacha and Cariñena from old vines and fermented in open-top 300- and 500-liter oak barrels where it matured for some 14 after being pressed. It’s ripe, modern and generously oaked, with a full-bodied palate with plenty of tannins in need of more time in bottle and/or powerful food. 5,350 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.
