Not a bad wine. First experience with this Spanish appellation. Hints of Strawberry on the nose and ripe fruit on the pallet to begin. As it opened, there was a fair amount of heat from the alcohol and surprisingly the nose nearly disappeared all together. Can't say I would buy it again.

uhhg, first impression, it's a mix of Monastrell, Cab Sav aqnd Syrah. Very strong, but nothing much else. (4)

Nice wine, red cherry and lots of spices. Acidity nicely balanced with tannins. Quite rich, but a little too alcoholic.

Opaque deep garnet. Black cherry, spice box- a great nose. Mid weight mouthfeel. Tannins winning the war vs. acidity. Decent finish.
