Castaño Monastrell 2007

Yecla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainSlightly reduced nose under screwcap that cleaned up with a few minutes air. Drier than last year (yeah) it's a mix of earth, black cherry raspberry fruit with bits of liquorice and mocha. Soft easy sipping with a pinch of acidity in the finish. A solid barbecue red that I would highly recommend but nowhere near a 90 point experience some are claiming. Tasted: 14 February 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
