Finca El Monegrillo 2006 El Monegrillo Red (Manchuela)

Country: Spain / El Monegrillo
Variety: Red Blend Central Spain
Winery: Finca El Monegrillo / Manchuela

Earthy aromas of root beer, baked cherry, roasted plum and vanilla are deep but come up a bit short on the freshness factor. This is a ripe wine with a dense mouthfeel and syrupy flavors of molasses, brown sugar, chocolate and baked berry fruits. Given its warm Manchuela roots, it’s in good shape and should be opened and consumed now.
