Cims del Montsant 2012

Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainMonsant is a stone’s throw (or is that a piece of llicorella) from nearby and highly heralded Priorat region. The mix is carignan and garnacha planted at a dizzying 530 meters above sea-level. Expect a rich, round, sunbaked red full of black cherries, intense wild blackberries and tempered by a plummy licorice finish. The tannins remain youthful and gritty calling for grilled sausages or venison. We love the value here and you can age this wine too. A BCLDB exclusive means it's everywhere and cheap – the monopoly has its privileges.Tasted: 30 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:
