Time Waits For No One Double Monastrell

I bought this one at a liquor store that really trends to the cheap and cheerful... But, it was worth the pickup... A really dark, opaque color in the presentation... On the nose, this was blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, and bramble... On the palate, my first thought was pickled, green strawberries... Green pepper... But don't sleep on that cran-raspberry... There is fruit, it's just not the initial blast... The structure feels precise and clean. Graphite. Pretty tight tannin here though I'm not sure aging would be the choice here. Just drink now I think. The elevated acidity played very well with the beef stew I prepared especially with the parsnips oddly. To me, the finish again came back to the green notes with a medium length. Maybe I buy this again or maybe I don't, but this is the kind of wine that would be fun to dial in against a number of dishes... That parsnips pair would be interesting to explore... Not for everyone, but interesting.
