NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Pinord Priorat Clos del Mas exudes a powerful and complex aroma, filled with rich notes of dark cherries, blackberries, and a hint of minerality reminiscent of the slate soils.Additional layers of complexity are revealed through subtle undertones of vanilla, spice, and a slight smokiness, likely derived from its time in oak barrels. On the palate, this wine is robust and full-bodied, offering a dense texture with well-integrated tannins. The flavors mirror the nose, with a dominance of dark fruit and a touch of earthiness, leading to a long, lingering finish that balances fruitiness with a distinctive minerality. This wine is a superb example of the Priorat style, ideal for enjoying with bold, flavorful dishes or as a standout addition to any wine collection.
