Upon opening, I couldn't get past the diaper poo smell to taste it. Decanted the 2nd day and much better. Nice black pepper and black currant flavors.

Holy crap. This is my first Montsant and it's killer... Dried herbs, mint, deep blackberry notes, earth and minerals. Fantastic balance too. Value on this one is through the roof...

Big black fruit liqueur, tar, anise, and iron notes. Definitely a massive wine, though not overdone. Mid winter wine for sure

Not bad for the $ - vibrant Grenache and meaty syrah, and great with hanger steak

Montsant flavors of cooked dark fruit. Framed with round, defined tannins. Party wine.
