Reviews for 2005 Vintage
Heavy and thick -- almost syrupy. Nose of pepper and blackberries. It's a little hot, but the tobacco and licorice on the finish are nice. Quite tannic.
Tannic, but balanced. pepper, blackberries, and tobacco on the palate. Heavy but rich in flavor.
Great, new-style wine for the price. Intense cherry nose. Rich mouth feel without being too heavy. Very forward jam and oak notes. Good value.
Heavy bottle warning! Spicy nose of white pepper, meat and wet wool. Spicy, still tight (decanting or letting breathe should do the trick). A very deep rich licorice wine. Hard to validate while this freshly opened, but fruit seems too restrained behind the dominant tannins and meaty flavors.
After an hour the wine had opened up a little, there's more fruit, but its still a hot heavy beast.
This is a great wine that has a powerful berry burst and a very smooth finish. Different from other Spanish wines in that it's not as earthy tasting. It's rich, blackberry almost inky color to it that clings to the side of glass. Undertones and after taste are similar to the initial taste. Consistently great all the way through. I received this as a gift so my friend must really like me! I will buy this again and again.
Great bottle for the price. Drink now or hold for a few years.
This is really the first Spanish red that I fell in love with. I agree with most of what I have read on this forum in that it is a beautiful dark purple color, with deep earthy raisin tones and a bit higher acidity. A big, bold Spanish Monastrell that I still love, although I think it has lost a bit of its appeal since 2005. Overall it's a great wine and would pair well with red meats and spicy dishes alike.
The inky purple color hints that this is a big wine. Spice & Cassis over toasted oak on the nose lead to loads of ripe sweet berry jam in the mouth balanced by sour burnt-cheery flavors. Tannins offer a youthful grip and chew finishing with toasted and smoked notes over jam. At $16 this wine works hard to be liked.
really deep, dark, inky, and purplish in color; blueberries, licorice, spice, and black pepper give this wine an amazing flavor that will definitely open up with more time.
I paid $17.99 for this. Parker Rated 90 Points and I can see why. This is a modern styled Monastrel so it has plenty of fruit. It had some slight earthy tones on the finish that went perfectly with my mushroom risotto.
