Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - Clear, deep dark purple core that leads out to a very vibrant ruby red rim. Wine looks very concentrated and youthful.
The nose is huge with massive raspberry, chocolate, welches grape and plum. light woodyness.
The palate shows a sweet wine with loads of raspberry, marachino cherry, plum and current. Chocolate shavings, fig newton and some pencil lead make up the mid-palate. Really it is quite simple with some oakyness comming through on the long finnish. This its high octane fruit all the way. med acidity but not enough to still make the massive body of this wine not feel flaby.

Good quality, very interesting. Im going to buy another bottle or 2 and see what happens to this wonderful monastrell in a few years.
Im going to say hold 3 years for the fruit to die down a bit and wait for some more complex flavors to rear their heads.
