Barahonda 2008 Heredad Candela Monastrell (Yecla)

Country: Spain / Heredad Candela
Variety: Monastrell Levante
Winery: Barahonda / Yecla

A bit scratchy, leathery and herbal on the bouquet, but there’s also a stony character and raspberry aromas. It feels crisp and a bit sheering, with flavors of zesty red fruit, citrus and vanilla filling in the gaps. The finish is long and lightly oaky.
