The 2010 Costers del Siurana Clos de l'Obac hails from a generally very good vintage in Spain, characterised by a cool yet steady growing season that allowed grapes ample time to develop and ripen. This Priorat red blend, typically comprising Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, and Syrah, is known for its bold and structured style. Tasting notes often highlight ripe fruit, wild herbs, spicy and creamy oak, and mineral undertones, leading to a balanced, flavourful, long, and balsamic palate. Some tasters have noted a vibrant purple colour with black fruit revolving around a well-structured centre, suggesting it's light enough on its feet to pair with pork belly. However, some older notes mention slightly oxidized or sherry-like aromas, which can be mitigated by decanting for two hours or more. 【 Part of the 'Gang of Five' that pioneered modern Priorat, establishing its reputation as a serious fine wine region. 】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include lamb, pork belly, lobster, or strong fish dishes like monkfish stew. Its bold character also makes it suitable for rich, slow-cooked stews or aged hard cheeses. 🥂 This wine is ready to drink now but can also benefit from further cellaring. It's an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating Spanish wines, or a cosy evening by the fire with hearty cuisine.
