Deep, dark ruby with high viscosity (14.5% ABV). The nose of this Monastrell aka Mourvèdre, aka Mataro has medium (+) intensity aromas of game, violets, black cherry, pine needles, blackberry tart and black currants. The palate is dry with high acidity and medium tannins. A full body carries the ripe dark berries and gamy notes. I get a touch of the floral violets but no pine needles. It finishes medium (-) in length but has a nice closing. It’s a pretty nice presentation of this grape varietal that is normally blended as in ‘GSM’. I like it and think it’s worthy of 90 points. For $14 it gets 5 stars. I’m pairing it with roasted Duck and gratin potatoes. Drink till 2027. Salut….
