July 15, 2010 - A little harsh on first opening. Crisp and tart. Opened nicely after 10-15 minutes. Mellowed nicely after that. A bit of currant and flint.

Wines That Don't Hurt Your Wallet!, Episode #450, 4/23/2008 (link) 84 points(Castano Monastrell) #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-some subtle cherries; I really like the kick of black pepper; an interesting soy sauce/seaweed component; big blast of Basil/Oregano; TASTE-very dry; nice subtle cherry; but it's basic and a little awkward; the tannins are too high (would benefit from 2-3 hour decant); soy sauce/ seaweed is neat, but the finish is so bitter & tannic; it's solid; I don't hate it, but I don't love it; the finish is difficult; JR-90; GV-84
