  A nice Monastrell nad still holding up well for its age. Not up to the 2019 tasting note but still a nice wine that now had a fair amount of mature wine tastes without being maderized. This wine is much better with some age on it than freshly bottled.

  I can see a rapid degradation of this wine. Its heading quickly to tertiary flavours, which is fine if that is what you like. The speed of change is what is striking for me. I have 1 bottle left - but will drink it soon.

  This was a phenomenal example of a low priced wine showing beautifully after being cellared for 6 years. The wine developed a leathery and smoky nature that accentuated the mature grape flavors : earthy, dry and dusty. IF I hand only bought 2 cases rather than 2 bottles.

  Quite a savoury wine, with smoky meaty notes. Also blackberry, green olive, clove. Medium bodied. Decent wine for the price.

  S'est bien assouplis après presque 2 ans. Flaveurs de fruits noirs, boisé fondu, tanins assez souples, acidité(-), bien bon pour le prix!
