Castillo de Almansa Reserva 2005
Almansa, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainThe Castillo de Almansa Reserva is a 70/30 blend of tempranillo and monastrell all matured in American oak casks for one year. Smooth seductive supple textures match the smoky, spicy, plummy fruit aromas and flavours. Best of all it is clean albeit warm in the finish. Good value here.Tasted: 18 October 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $13.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
