Castaño Monastrell 2005

Yecla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainThis is the ripest, maybe the sweetness Castaño Monastrell we've tasted yet from the region of Yecla. The nose is reminiscent of cherry jam, the textures smooth and supple with heaps of black cherry, chocolate, peppery licorice flavours and a touch of acidity showing through the finish. Almost a bit Yellowtail-like in style.Tasted: 01 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
