Tasting Notes
Look: Dark red
Smell: fruity, could smell alcohol, changed over time (got better)
Attack: dry, dark/red berries
Evolution: dry, a bit creamy, light chocolate, maybe prune

This was a very good wine for the price.  A good wine overall.  This vintage got 90 points from RP Wine Advocate.  This is the first Monastrell for either of us.  Would definitely consider getting again.
