Smoked eucalyptus and gamey.
Blackberry, dark plum, tha basil, eucalyptus. mint, anise, layer upon layers of gorgeous fruit, with herbs dancing with great pagan mystery, underneath those waves.
This is one of those wines that hits every bit of what you want a more expensive bottle to be.
Priced to buy by the case as a every nighter.

First sip made me pucker up. A bit overbearing with the wood and tannins at first, but softens with time. Recommend decanting. Rich dark fruit flavors redeems itself.

Tonight I am having the 2009 Altos de Luzon Jumilla. 50% Mouvedre - 30% Cabernet Sauvignon - 20% Tempranillo
The nose is notes of black plum, blackberry, savory meats, smoke, black pepper, and licorice.
On the palate I get blackberry, blueberry, black plum, leather, and lots of gravel.
With a full mouth feel I get High mouth watering acidity, medium + tannins with a long finish.
Very nice drinkable Spanish wine that would go with a good steak.

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

May 4th, 2015Smells of minty, lusty, puffed rice.
Medium bodied excellence! Spicy eucalyptus, blueberries, plump, yet unsweetened. This is a Spanish wine that hits every point of what I want a wine to be. A harmonious balance of oak and acid, fruit and herb, changing mouthfeels as the wine evolves. Wow, this vintage could go another 5 - 10.
