Cepas Viejas Utiel-Requena Monastrell
Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain
A very enjoyable Monastrell from Spain.
Showing black fruits with chocolates, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead, coffee and peppercorn.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Nice length on the finish with medium minus tannins and tangy raspberries.
Dry on the palate, tangy and spicy.
Good by itself or for parties.
I paired it with Spanish tapas.
14% alcohol by volume.
88 points.

Lots of plum rounding this even-tempered Monastrell. Paired with gripping cassis and light smoke in the nose; anise, deep cherry and velvet acidity in the mouth. The finish goes on and on, and I'm not complaining. The old world color made me think I was going to get something more complex. Despite that, this is a pleasant crowd pleaser.
