"Cuvée de Monastrell, Carmine 2010 is vinified in open vats, then transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation, where the wine is aged for 10 months. The aromas of smoked bacon and black olive are more reminiscent of a Rhône varietal than a Jumilla. Full-bodied on the palate, with good texture and moderate acidity, revealing concentration and power. Modern and very well crafted, difficult to identify terroir or varietal, it should pair very well with powerful dishes." (Wine Advocate 2015)

Before decanting: atrocious. After: bad. Gone to the vinegar factory.

Powerful, pleasant, improving steadily over the past 3 years. Still has ageing potential.

Tannic, smoky and olive on the palate, with good length. Without being excellent, a wine that surprises with its generosity. To be enjoyed at least 2 hours after opening. Undeniable Q/P ratio.

Perfectly uninteresting. This wine is a punishment.

What a shame ... to have taken only 2 bottles. Rivaled the greatest Cotes du Rhone. Powerful aromas of earth and olive, perfectly balanced.
