Tasting - Tarima Hill Monastrell

Tarima Hill Monastrell 2011
Name: Tarima Hill
Variety: 100% Monastrell
Region: Alicante
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $17.99

Winery review: The wine exhibits deep garnet color with flashes of violet and a bouquet of dark red charriers and leather. On the palate the wine achieves its full potential, offering notes of black berries, plums and licorice with an elegant but persistent finish.

My review: The bouquet of this wine smelled like a unique blend of fig and old bay spices. It tasted like licorice and black currant with a well rounded black pepper finish. Absolutely phenomenal; well balanced and thoroughly enjoyable.
