One of the labels has a small, isolated area of paper loss in the upper corner, which does not affect the identification of the wine or the vintage. Original back labels are well-preserved. Original Clos Mogador wooden case, labeled with the 2005 vintage. It comes from a private collection, stored under optimal temperature and humidity conditions. Clos Mogador, produced by René Barbier in Gratallops, is one of the Priorat’s iconic wines. Sourced from vineyards planted on llicorella soil, it blends Garnacha, Cariñena, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The 2005 vintage stands out for its concentration, balance, and aging potential, with a profile of black fruit, spices, balsamic notes, and minerality. This was a historic vintage marked by Clos Mogador’s recognition as a “Vi de Finca Qualificada”—the first in Spain to earn this distinction. Its presentation in an original six-bottle case adds to its appeal for collectors.
