Ratings and Reviews:
93 Points - Wine Spectator:
Intriguing on the nose, with a waft of garam masala and graphite that winds through flavors of baked white peach and cherry fruit, Marcona almond and candied pink grapefruit peel. A creamy viscosity to the softly sparkling mousse carries the flavors through to the lightly mouthwatering, mineral-laced finish. Xarelo-lo. Disgorged July 2019. Drink now through 2030. 40 cases imported. - Alison Napjus (6/30/2021)
95 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate:
The still young and somewhat reticent 2006 Turó d'en Mota is from an average year—not too warm, not too cold and with normal rain—and it matured for a very long time in bottle with the lees. The nose is a great combination of baked apples, Mirabelle plums, pine needles, smoke and stones, and it has great density, structure and intense minerality, with a drying, chalky sensation on the palate. It's quite different from the 2008 Reserva Particular that I tasted next to it and represented hard competition. Today I give the edge to the Reserva Particular, but only in the style of the vintage. 4,864 bottles produced. - Luis Gutierrez (8/30/2019)
