Member Reviews for Bodegas Castano Hecula
Add your reviewDark, earthy red. Backdrop of dark, woody notes with underpinning of subtle blackcurrant, spicy pepper notes. Undernotes of mint and minerally tones. Soft, rounded tannins. 87.
Still a bit tight upon opening, nose is muted. Flavors burst immediately however on tasting. Blackberry, slight oak, a little leather, finishing with moderate tannins but easy. Nice winter wine maybe best drunk on its own or with a hearty beef stew. I think this can still develope for a few years.
drank August 2007 / will need more time / does have its merits in color, fruit content, and complexity, but is rather astringent at this time / will give the other 5 bottles a few years.
