Decided that I am not a fan of Monastrell (Mouvedre) only wines after drinking the last bottle. Was good with the chipotle-sauced pork chops I cooked yesterday, though.

Drank several weeks ago. Notes: 1.5 hour decant. Dark ruby colour, black currant, vanilla, nose a bit simple/"cheap". Palate much nicer than nose. Spicy, black fruit, but nice acidity and dusty tannins. Long layered finish. A touch sweet - lots of oak.

Big, black wine. Not a ton of structure (2 hour decant may have softened all the edges), but lots of fruit, some complexity and plenty of body. Very good value. Not for the faint hearted.

Opened again for the 4th of July party - tasted syrupy, not much gone at the end of the night.
