“The 2014 is very delicate, showcasing the austere character 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 the price and is a great introduction to Alicante’s Monastrell; the price is unbelievable.” (Wine Advocate 2016 – Robert Parker)

Much more mellow today than when I bought it. A very fine Monastrell

A "Parker-style" taste. Vanilla that jumps out 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 continue to be proud of ourselves—until the next crisis.
