“The 2014 is very delicate, displaying the austerity of stony vineyards with chalky soils and a myriad of Mediterranean herbs. The grapes were partially destemmed, which adds an extra touch of finesse and gives it a subtle texture. It has the dusty tannins and salty flavor of limestone soils. It offers superb value for money and is a very good introduction to Alicante’s Monastrell; the price is unbelievable.” (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

A "Parker-style" taste. Vanilla hits you right away on the nose and palate. A pleasant wine, but lacking in complexity. Personally, it's not my cup of tea.

Spanish wines often make up for the disappointments frequently caused by French wines in the same price range. But let’s keep taking pride in ourselves—until the next crisis hits.
