Nice on the nose, with berry aromas, ample richness and rubber. The powerful palate delivers big-time blackberry, toast, roasted plum, coffee and chocolate, while the finish is also chocolaty and stout in structure. Chunky but tasty. A good Jumilla wine consisting of 85% Monastrell and 15% Syrah.

Bodegas Murtia 2008 Cármine Monastrell (Jumilla)
-
$30
Super dense and hard as a rock, with bacon and black fruit aromas that lead straight to a saturated, chewy, tannic palate that pounds away as it delivers blackberry, coffee, licorice and other huge flavors. As big, baked and heavy as they come, with gargantuan tannins. Includes 15% Syrah in addition to Monastrell.
