Solid 9.0. #barossa valley #barossavalley blend of #gsm #grenache, #shiraz and #mataro or #garnacha #syrah and #monastrell #mourvedre Deep deep color typically ripe (low latitude=intense sunlight) medium (+) aromas of red and black fruit, hints of ink, chocolate and toast. On the palate...as one would expect, ripe and juicy. Maintains a lovely balance between the ripeness and juicy sweetness of the fruit, the medium acidity and the high alcohol (hardly noticeable) and ripe tannins. Good stuff. Reminds me of my wines from Campo de Borja. #australia #southaustralia — 2 years ago
Nohhhh excelente #monastrell com um pouco de ameixa no gosto, mais cítrico no cheiro. Bem bom... Pouco alcoólico e um pouco de pimenta também no gosto.... Ótimo! — 5 years ago
Black and blue fruit, coffee, chocolate aromas roll into pleasant tartness on the palate and impressive longevity in the wine fridge (1 week+) without much oxidation. #monastrell — a year ago

The nose was a fruit bomb when we first opened it. It is a little hot with alcohol. The palate is lovely. It is fantastic with prime rib. — 2 years ago
This wine punches above its weight but it really needs a solid hour decant. It starts out one-dimensional. There’s a healthy tartness that then gives way to some interesting spice as the wine opens up. #monastrell #tempranillo — 3 years ago
Classic #yecla #monastrell character. Black fruits, spice, tea. Good tannic structure. — 5 years ago
I love it. #carignan #carignane #zinfandel #petitesyrah #syrah #alicantebouschet #monastrell #garnachatintorera #mourvedre #barbera #sonoma #sonomacounty it has this complexity and balance due to the blend that intrigues me and keeps me coming back for more. #ravenswood also incredibly fresh for 2014 vintage. Can age. — 2 years ago

Eu acho muito engraçados esses vinhos espanhois. Eu considero um gosto complicado de gostar, mas ao mesmo tempo fascinante pelo sua complexidade. Muita fruta, mais alcoólico e encorpado, apesar do final mais suave. Deixa meio que um gosto chato, meio inquieto: mas interessante (:
Em resumo, eu fico puto quando eu bebo um blend desses (#garnachatintonera e #monastrell) mas eu curto. — 4 years ago

My last current stock and another fascinating bottle from #caduceus. This high desert (4300’) grown #monastrell pours almost medium-light with a dark ruby core. Viognier-like floral notes, some dusty dried cherry. Palate has a pleasing luscious texture, firm supportive acidity and transparent tannins. — 6 months ago
