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 (96/100)

Even more impressive than the Coma Vella was the 2016 Clos Fontà, from one of their finest vintages ever. It has the character of the dusty roads from Priorat, the decayed slate and the Mediterranean forest, a polished palate with abundant fine-grained tannins, lively acidity and great balance. This should continue developing in bottle for a long time. This blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Cariñena produced 7,518 bottles that were filled in May 2018 after maturing in barrel and foudre for 14 months.

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.
