Tastes a lot better with 45 min aeration. Mediocre at best.

Wow, lots of figs and dark, dried cherry notes. Firm tannins. More structured than some other wine at this price. Overall, pretty great little value

15 to buy again; a great Ole & Obregado "branded" offering the best of Spain & Portugal.
This Monastrell blend is earthy with lots of fruit, balanced acidity, grippy but supple tannins and medium finish.

A real keeper. After airing it was super smooth, rich with darker notes. Stood well for 3 days. WOM 3-22.

Open this dark red Monastrell and you are transported to the rugged Yecla region in Espanola. This bold rustic wine pairs well with roasted chicken and polenta. Enjoy a taste of a heritage dating back to 1925. Vino tinto sorprendente!!

Correct mais sans plus pour moi. Pas de goût distinctif. Assez doux, rond un peu. Bof.

Dry, dusty, spicy, with strong minerality. Sharp, abrupt finish.
