Aroma of wood smoke charcoal and espresso plum currents. Black Berry jam. Blue berries. Oak. Coffee. Hint of raw meat. After an hour a chocolate hazelnut wafer note comes out. Delightful. Finish is hot.

This sort of oscillated between 88 and 92 points, but in the end it was more to the good. Has a tinge of sharp sulfur and limestone that can get really funky at times. Cherry, grilled meat, and a touch of vanilla and flowers.

One of the better wines I have enjoyed for the price! Smells like a campfire. Nice with a spicier (Frank's RedHot showcasing) meal or on its own.

Absolutely love this wine, especially at the price! Believe it's my first Monastrell.
