- The 2004 La Montesa is a blend of 45% Garnacha, 40% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, and 5% Graciano. It was aged for 12 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak and bottled unfiltered. Medium crimson-colored, it offers an expressive bouquet of cedar, pencil lead, black raspberry, and blackberry. Medium to full-bodied, it reveals a supple texture, plenty of spicy dark fruits, good complexity, and an elegant personality. It has a lengthy finish for its modest price. Drink this outstanding value now and over the next 8 years.

- Just mid crimson. Rather ripe and furry notes on the nose - Garnacha? Big and juicy and round but with freshness and a lot of sweet gaminess on the finish. Relatively simple but well made. Much cheaper than most of the wines here.
