Note di degustazione
The 2009 Clos de l’Obac is a blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Garnacha, and 10% each of Syrah, Carinena and Merlot. It has a well-defined, very sensual bouquet of blackberry, tobacco, sandalwood and a touch of Provencal herbs and lavender that unfurl nicely in the glass. The palate is full-bodied with firm grip on the entry, a Bordeaux-like structure with a noticeable tannic backbone. Notes of tarry black fruits, spice and liquorice vie for attention and lacquer the mouth, lending this a very masculine veneer. It is well-defined towards the saline finish, which is still a little broody and chewy, even though my sample was decanted over two hours prior to my arrival. (NM)

(the same blend as the Miserere) Deep ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by cured tobacco, iron and fresh flowers. Vanilla and baking spices come up with air and carry onto the palate, which offers sweet red and dark berry flavors and a velvety texture. Leaves sweet blackberry and boysenberry behind on the long, seamless finish. Extremely alluring wine that is surprisingly accessible already.
The 2005 Clos de L’Obac is 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Garnacha, and the balance Syrah, Carinena, and Merlot. The wine was aged for 14 months in new French oak and bottled unfiltered. More structured and expressive than its sibling, the nose delivers smoke, slate, scorched earth, black cherry, and blueberry. Plush and layered, the wine has excellent length and 6-8 years of cellaring potential. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2025. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain; tel. (781) 461-5767
