2005 CLOS ABELLA Bodegas Marco Abella

2005 CLOS ABELLA Bodegas Marco Abella

Grapes: Syrah  Carignan  Garnacha  Cabernet Sauvignon  Origin: Spain, Priorat
Lea & Sandeman review
A similar blend of Garnacha and Cariñena to the Mas Mallola (with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah), but from the oldest and best vines of the estate. Aged entirely in French oak barrels (a combination of 225 and 300 litre) for eighteen months, this is a much richer and denser wine which requires time in the bottle to really express intself at its best.

Other reviews and comments
Made by Ester Nin, wnemaker at Clos Erasmus. Powerful with ripe but fresh cherry and blueberry fruit, garrigues herbs and minerals, with Syrah backbone and judicious oak. ***
Decanter Magazine
Black cherry, licorice, mineral and coffee flavors are subtle and harmonious in this well-integrated red, which has firm tannins, good balance, and a long, fresh finish. Drink now through 2013   92/100
The Wine Spectator
40% each of grenache and carignan, along with cabernet sauvignon and syrah) Youthful ruby. Intensely aromatic nose offers a seductive array of red and dark berries, flowers, smoky minerals and black tea. Pliant raspberry and bitter cherry flavors gain weight with air, picking up sweeter black and blue fruit character and silky tannins. Very fresh on the impressively long finish, which repeats the lively red fruit flavors. This is balanced to reward cellaring.   93/100
