  March 4, 2024 - Enjoyed it quite a lot. Not as convincing as the last time, but still ok. But wouldnt probably pay 50€ again for this wine in that year. 98 Parker Points? Not tonight.

  February 25, 2024 - DC Dinners and Tastings; 2/24/2024-2/26/2024 (Washington, DC): Ripe strawberries, ripe raspberries, mint/spearmint on the nose; which reminds me of California Mourvedre in a great way. Medium + intensity of aromas. Smells stemmy and mineral-driven. Palate is way fruitier, though the flavors are consistent with the aromas. It's driven by juicy strawberries and raspberries; but keeps the mint too. Medium + intensity of flavors and texturally juicy.
  
  Medium + body with medium acid and medium + tannin. There's a bit of alcohol burn at the end that prevents this from being truly outstanding; but it's probably the best Spanish Monastrell I have ever had.

  November 5, 2023 - Good, but I really think it would gain on some times on it's back. 90.
