| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by eb1202 on 7/3/2020 & rated 90 points: 100% Monastrell, red fruits on the nose. Same on the palate, blackberries, red berry fruits as well, medium body, silky tannins, perfect to drink now! (220 views) | | | Tasted by Ribera74 on 1/18/2019 & rated 90 points: Det här vinet blir bättre och bättre. Doft av röda bär, lite syltig doft, parfyrmig bärig doft som känns ganska ung. Också blygsam doft från fat vanilj men också olivdoft.
Bärig smak med fokus på röda bär som röda vinbär lingon och röda körsbär. Inte så mycket smak från faten och vinet känns lite obalanserat med en del spritsmak kvar, tror det kan bli bättre med några års lagring till. Inget kraftfullt vin utan mer elegant trots att det kommer från ett varmt klimat. (395 views) | | | Tasted by vr.bart on 4/22/2017 & rated 93 points: Dark crimson red color. On the nose a lot of white pepper and some cloves, cherries. The peppery nose reminds me of languedoc roussilion, but there is this sweetness to it from the fruit that is almost like a syrup.
On the pallet lots of dark sweet fruit mingled with spices. Very well balanced. I must say I was not expecting this. It's my last 2011 bottle but I regret it, as I believe I drank the others too early. (844 views) | | | Tasted by vr.bart on 8/4/2016 & rated 92 points: Deeply red coloured with medium legs. Very forward smell of red and black berries with some oak and cloves in the background and a touch of pepper in the aftertaste. Medium body, smooth texture, soft tannins, nice acidity. Still feels very young, I think this will hold longer than what I originally anticipated. (which was 2017) (900 views) | | | Tasted by EdaPeda on 7/10/2016 & rated 90 points: Good but nearly too round, that he almost slides off into trivial, but only almost. The nose promises more than comes on the palate. Have had it in better memories in its youthful phase. Anyhow, a good wine. (981 views) | | | Tasted by Antolini1 on 3/10/2016: This is now a lovely wine. I would give it 92-94 points.
The wine looks inky colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. (917 views) | | | Tasted by vr.bart on 1/10/2016 & rated 94 points: Still quite fruity with a bit of oak in the background. Strong potent taste. Lots of dark fruits and spices, yet it remains so elegant. Very descent aftertaste. Very nice QPR.
I originally intended to drink my bottles by 2017, but I think it will hold out somewhat longer. I have 2 bottles left so I am going to take my time. (882 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 9/28/2013 & rated 90 points: This vintage the wine is a 100% Monastrell. A lot of dark fruits and spiciness in the bouquet. On the palate a powerful wine with dark forest fruits, herbs and spices. Good acidity and tannin. In the finish also some impressions of green bell peppers. Beautiful wine with elegance as well. (1335 views) | | | Tasted by Seaner on 9/29/2012 & rated 84 points: - Ruby color with slow forming legs and aromas of eucalyptus. It's in total harmony and has flavours of dusty with a full body. Juicy texture with a medium finish. (1446 views) |

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
