Dark purple almost black in color. Incredibly complex wine that reminded me of a port. It is a sensuous wine to me that needs to be appreciated with either a pungent blue cheese or chocolate, but is too sweet and cloying to be appreciated alone. Fortunately, I was able to both try it before a fabulous blue cabrales and after, and my appreciation for the wine increased tenfold after the creaminess of the blue danced with the Monastrell.
[...] I was down in the Alicante a while back I had a chance to visit a winery who makes a wine I love very much. This region is not known for it’s rain but the day we arrived it was raining like no other. [...]
It has been my pleasure to create a collection of wine labels from my home in northern California. It would be with great enjoyment to be able to include your labels in my collection. I am interested in older vintage dated and labels with a vineyard designation. Thank you very much for your consideration.
