(April 24, 2015) ... No mention on the front label as to this being
'old vines' what, but a little further digging reveals its Monastrell. Spain is just a fabulous place for wine, for old Vines, and for new world flavour with old world charm. This is no different. Nose has lots of dark fruit, cocoa, and spiced plum - palate proved that this wine is way too young and needs a good three years in the cellar to get where it should be. Right now it's dark and brooding, with fruit ready to explode upon aeration in glass or decanter, just bubbling under the surface. I have a couple of these in the cellar and I'm looking forward to pulling them out in 2018 - man that seems so far away.
