La Casona de Castaño Old Vines Monastrell 2011
Yecla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainThis wine has a tendency to fluctuate from solid to good. This year it is solid with floral, peppery, black cherry, cedar aromas. Dry, round and slightly hard on the attack it recovers with black cherry, earthy, peppery, cedar, smoky herb flavours. Simple, varietal and well-made for pizza and barbecue. Hard to beat for the price.Tasted: 23 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $10.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Delf Group |
