  Same good sensations as ever.
  Pure Monastrell mouthfeel. Nice for what it is
  Don't ask for gems here...after that initial surprise factor a little boring bottle.
  Because those 14.5%, better if chilled.
  From time to time, why not?
  
  Las mismas buenaas sensaciones de siempre.
  Sensación en boca a pura Monastrell. Rica para lo que es.
  No busques joyas aquí... después de ese factor de sorpresa inicial, una botella aburrida.
  Mejor fresquita por esos 14,5 grados.
  De vez en cuando, porqué no?

  Popped and poured. Chilled slightly. No formal notes.
  
  This wine still shows great amount of youthful fruit but love the earthy tones, tar and tobacco. Lovely textures and layers of flavours. Tannins are still a little rough giving this wine a rustic feel but the flavours are all there. Would go well with a hearty richer meal instead of more the more delicate dim sum meal i had. Great representation of Monastrell, a much more refined effort than their entry level monastrell and Hecula.

  Deep garnet colour for an earthy and smoky wine. Fragant (stick of liquorice and blackberries) and long afteraste. Good value but honestly, I prefer my wines less alcoholic, excepting fortified ones. Paired Provenzal herbs lamb chops.
  
  Color granate profundo para un vino ahumado y lleno de recuerdos a tierra mojada. Fragante (Regaliz de palo y zarzamoras) y con un largo postgusto. Buena relación calidad-precio pero, honestamente prefiero mis vinos menos alcohólicos, excepto para los generosos. Maridó unas chuletas de cordero con hierbas provenzales.
