Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
Not our bag. Too much everything, especially American oak.

80% Monastrell, 15% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
Fantastic fruit and berry profile, enjoy now. If I wasn’t being a host on T-Day, would have been more involved and analytical. Tasty, more please!
93 WS, I agree.

Drank 3/4/21
The medium bouquet is dominated by earth, underbrush, black pepper, and some dark fruit. Black berries, plums, and a bit of pepper on the palate. Nicely balanced, but a bit restrained. Medium finish.
Better with a bit of air, although I dont feel this is a wine that needs to age.
WS went 93 pts on this, while most did not seem to love it as much. I'm somewhere in between...
3/21/7/4/3 = 88 pts.

Nice tannins and backbone to support the fruitiness on the front, with a little bit of a pleasantly thorny twist on the finish that shows this wine is not playing around.
