There are few places in the world that can make reasonably priced, properly aged, wine better than Spain. From the country's southeastern Alicante, this flamboyantly dressed (it was orginally designed for the King of Spain) Monastrell - a grape better known as Mourvedre or Mataro - has endless savory appeal. Medium bodied with deep, brambly fruit, dark roasted miso, dusty tannins and mellowed acidity it has an unmisakeably Spanish sultriness.
