La Casona de Castaño Old Vines Monastrell 2014
Yecla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainAlways consistent. Look for a spicy, savoury, peppery nose with black cherry, orange, slightly meaty aromas and a touch of leather. Round, juicy, slightly chunky palate with peppery, black cherry jam, plum, light chocolate, roast meat and black olive flavours. Savoury style with some light tannins. Can't beat the value here.
