Amazing QPR! These last few years have been kind to this Monastrell - well balanced fruit and funk. It's not as powerful (nor as complex) as Clio, for example...but it's also just a fraction of the price. Agree with the prior taster on the black tea note - unique but delicious. I hope they have more at this price...

Black cherry nose, full bodied with good acidity, cherry, black tea, and maybe some licorice on the palate, decent finish. Different wine, 100% Mouvedre, I could see a wide range of opinions on this wine.

- Garnet color and aromas of burnt match and has flavours of smokey and sweaty. Linear texture with a short finish.
