Laya Garnacha Monastrell Vieilles Vignes 2016
Almansa, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainThe heft in the bottle reflects the density of this wine, a blend of old bush vine garnacha / monastrell from Almansa. Fortunately, the altitude (700-1000m) and soils (calcareous) has kept a flush of freshness. Dusky blackberry, charcoal smoke, black liquorice tug along with thick tannins on a soft, brooding palate, lingering with black espresso and a medicinal scrub. This concentration, as savoury-lined as it is, requires red meats to meet. Solid value.Tasted: 08 January 2018Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
