TASTING NOTES

Mas Doix 1903 Coma de Cases Vinya Classificada 2020 is a distinguished expression of Priorat’s rugged slate hillsides, crafted exclusively from 100% Grenache grapes harvested from 85-year-old vines. Nestled in Catalonia, Spain, Mas Doix harnesses the region’s unique terroir to produce a wine of remarkable depth and character.

This vintage captivates with delicate red berry flavors that are beautifully interwoven with a rustic forest essence. Subtle nuances of forest floor and a whisper of white pepper enhance the complexity, while vibrant notes of dried citrus peel and pronounced red licorice spice add a sophisticated dimension to the palate.

The meticulous winemaking process underscores its premium quality: grapes are hand-harvested in small 10kg boxes, 100% destemmed, and undergo a rigorous berry-by-berry selection on the sorting table. Fermentation takes place in an open 400-liter French oak barrel, followed by 10 months of aging in third-year French oak barrels. This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its authentic expression.

Recognized for excellence, this wine earned 96 points from Decanter, reflecting its outstanding balance, elegance, and depth.

Experience the essence of Priorat’s steep slate hillsides at elevations of 400 to 500 meters, where the climate and soil shape this powerful yet refined Grenache. Perfect for those seeking a wine that combines tradition, terroir, and meticulous craftsmanship.

Bottle sample. While there’s no Cariñena from 2020 because of the mildew in the year, the Garnacha came through successfully. On the nose it offers classic Garnacha aromas of red berries. In the mouth the pure, ripe Garnacha fruit shines, overlaid with spices. The texture is very fine with a lovely freshness; a long finish. Simply needs time now to develop further before release. The change to used barrels to soften tannin and work on mouthfeel is obvious in this vintage. Release date January 2023.

Light red berry fruits with a wild forest quality to them, very light forest floor note developing, white pepper, dried citric peel, and a good deal of red licorice spice. Quite lifted and fresh on the palate, clean, linear acidity to it giving great length to the wine overall.

A perfumed, heady and showy pure Garnacha, the 2020 1903 Coma de Cases is a viña clasificada, the official category for exceptional single vineyards from Priorat. It comes from very old vines on a steep coster slope on llicorella slate soils very close to Poboleda. The mildew from 2020 resulted in losses of 40% to 80% of the grapes, so the juice was concentrated and ripe, as the end of the season was warm. The hand-destemmed grapes fermented in open-top 400-liter oak barrels with three weeks of maceration. After pressing, the wine was put in second-use barriques where it matured for 12 months. It has a complex nose of cherries in liqueur, cotton candy, Garnacha, iodine, iron and soy sauce. It's fine-boned, with very elegant tannins, a juicy and decadent mouthfeel, 14.5% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity. It was bottled in August 2022.
