The 2018 Clos Figueres follows the path of cleanliness and precision of the 2017 in a better vintage. It's Garnacha and Cariñena from old vines with Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah and Monastrell, which seems to be a Mediterranean grape that is coming out of the closet in Priorat. It fermented and matured in new and second use 300- and 500-liter French oak barrels for 14 to 16 months. It's powerful and ripe at 15% alcohol, but with a low pH and good freshness. It's nuanced and complex and has elegance and some floral notes, with a more developed nose compared to the younger 2019 and 2020 tasted next to it. This has to be one of the finest vintages of Clos Figueres ever. 5,150 bottles were filled in February 2020.

The flagship wine of the estate, Clos Figueres was first made in 2000. The 2018 is a blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Cariñena, all the grapes coming from older vines aged 60-80 years around the estate. The wine was fermented in open-top 500L barrels then aged for 14 months in new and second-use French oak barrels of 500L. Only 3,000 bottles were produced. Beth Willard: A dark and brooding wine with layers of blackcurrant, black pepper, liquorice and intense, bitter dark chocolate. There’s an element of tobacco on the finish, some savoury, herbal notes and loads of blueberry and blackberry fruit. A big and bold wine. Diana Rollan: Rich and opulent, with notes of blue- and blackberry compote, liquorice and dark chocolate. Concentrated and muscular, full-bodied style with high tannins but with a balanced, refreshing acidity. David Williams: A beautifully composed, deep, dark nose to dive into, with perfectly ripe dark berries and shimmering concentration. Polished tannin, too, and perfectly integrated oak. Very smart: one to cellar and watch.
