Vinification
Aged for 14 months in new French oak barrels (90%) and big vats (10%).

Storage potential
13 years.
To serve
Serve at 18°C in a large glass, after decanting, at least during the first 7 years.
Trial analysis
Deep young colour.
Rich aromatic pallet of ripe red fruit (cherries) and Mediterranean spices with a hint of mocha and cocoa.
The wood is perfectly integrated.
Well balanced and meaty on the palate, with silky tannins and a superb concentration.
A very long finish.
Reviews
R. Parker (93/100)

There are unusual minty and spicy aromas on the nose of the 2013 Clos Fontà that I don't associate with Priorat. It has echoes of nutmeg, eucalyptus and cola nut that make me think of a vermouth, with lots of aromatic herbs and a Mediterranean character. It's a blend of Garnacha (both peluda and país, different strains) with 30% Cariñena from their oldest vines, planted between 1931 and 1973 on slate soils. It fermented in oak vats and matured in French and Austrian oak barrels and 1,500-liter vats for some 14 months. The balsamic and minty characteristics are a bit unusual and might surprise many, but the wine is very balanced and has a superb palate with fine tannins and refreshing acidity. 6,780 bottles were filled in May 2015.

Wine estate

One of the largest - and best - estates in Priorat, Mas d'en Gil was saved from decay by the Rovira Family at the end of the 1990's.
It is now back at the top with superb wines which both respect the local traditions in terms of viticulture and winemaking.
