Tarima Alicante Monastrell

A bit rough but quite drinkable at this price point

Lightly sweet, taste light white wine.

On the nose: hello, I’m drunk.
In the mouth: currants, blackberries, dirt, licorice, waxy, punch-in-the-face mouthfeel (makes sense with a 91 from Parker).
Conclusion: not sure Monastrell is my grape of choice.

Friendly, Robust & Good Value!
Roses on front end adding red currant with hint of tarragon...not thick in mouth or pour but has pleasant finish. This was experienced when eating fatty meat its slightly balsamic offering that works well with the Prime Rib melding flavours. Definitely sparked my interest for Case purchasing. Need to do a retry with some serving temp variations & some breathing time.

Красные фрукты, жареные шампиньоны, табак, дуб, чернослив, нотка аниса и зелёного перца, полно, немного алкогольно, бархатные танины, долгое послевкусие.

Game night- very drinkable

2015

Licorice and chocolate notes, decent acidity and a velvety soft finish. Pairs well with grilled meat.

Not very aromatic... Hints of black plum, blackberry, leathery tannins, a touch of black pepper, medium finish.
