  • This is 50% Monastrell & 50% Petit Verdot.

    This is nice and on latter side of its drinking window. Go figure w/ my palate. Brickish color on the edges. It is interesting an interesting wine at this stage, heady, soft, resolved with nice evolution and nothing that bites back. The benefit of drinking older wines. The nose is Spanish rustic. Understated fruits that are floral, slightly bright and yet have a stewy character. Ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, pomegranate, stewed black plums/plums. Vanillin, mid fruit cola, soft tarry notes, anise, dark rich forest floor w/ dry leaves, hint of mint, light caramel notes, dry top soil, soft, old tobacco, dry twig, used leather with withering & candied; dark, red & blue flowers.

    The palate is on the leaner side. Rustic fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, pomegranate, stewed black plums/plums. Vanillin, mid fruit cola, soft tarry notes, anise, dark rich forest floor w/ dry leaves, hint of mint, light caramel notes, dry top soil, soft, old tobacco, sandy limestone, dry twig, used leather with withering & candied; dark, red & blue flowers. The acidity is really good. The finish is well balanced with nice structure and similar wire to wire.

  • Still quite dark. Initially a bit of pruniness on the nose, but that blew off leading to some smokiness, blackberries and minerals. On the palate, lots of pencil lead and black fruits. I kept wondering where the Monastrell was because this seemed to be dominated by the Petit Verdot. Don't see much improvement, so recommend drink within the next year.
    Wife = 90, me = 88, so we'll compromise at 89 :)
