  June 20, 2015 - One might be excused for thinking that this is a bit of a soft wine, but if you persist, you will be rewarded with strong violet flavours, a hint of rose and blueberries in quite an interesting and harmonious blend.

  September 1, 2014 - If there were a competition for the sub-region with the best values in the world, Spain's Yecla would have to be a candidate, and this astounding value Monastrell doesn't disappoint, with inviting notes of violet, dark fruit, tobacco, leather, spice, and, emerging later, sweet strawberry and even licorice, though there's not as much going on deeper down, and it's a bit flat, if still rich, on the palette, ending with some bitterness amid the sudden dryness; overall, somewhat out of balance, with firm tannins but not quite enough fruit to stand up to aging, but it's still fairly lively and interesting.
