Time to drink up, not going to get much better. Dark and medium bodied, with good acidity, touch of spice, tobacco maybe. Ate with pulled barbecued chicken, nice match.

(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

Simple, everyday drinking wine, exactly as it was intended. Dark fruit, overripe black jam, strong green olive note.

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.

Paired nicely with chicken fajitas. This ain't gonna improve. Drink up!
