Well, it's 90 out and I can't think of a better day to drink this 16% laudanum, which rhymes with awesome if you squint Little less soft, even a smoot of balsamic, and you'd swear you Can make Brunello out of monastrell
A bit of tomato leaf on the last of 5 great days in & out of the fridge

85% Monastrell and 15% Cab. Very aromatic wine, very powerful as well. 16% alcohol is a little bit high, the fruit is really ripe but the acidity is on point which makes it not overly sweet. The wine is primary, not surprisingly, with blackberry, plum, hint of chocolate and mocha with a spicy finish. I am glad this is not overly sweet but it still sorta overpowered my food pairing, bone-in ribeye... Overall a good wine by itself, but I find it can be too powerful for food..

This is a bold 16% wine. I've had two bottles of this wine now. It has great complexity and a long finish. It is more earthy rather than fruity. If I wear blind tasting it I would assume that it costs a lot more.

dark red fruit aroma; red fruit flavor, typical cab sav, one taster got more typical Bordeaux

Sehr viel Frucht und Kraft. Die Tannine könnten noch ein wenig runder sein. Bei 16% wäre das angebracht. Wirklich ein Powerpaket!
