Bodegas Enrique Mendoza
Estrecho Alicante Monastrell
Savory, old world-styled monastrell. I usually give to guests looking for something along the lines of Sangiovese; I find it's full red fruit and bright acid of this wine analogous to something like a modern Brunello. This time waited a couple hours to try a glass, and the wine really unfurled-flamboyant red florals, some savory vegetal notes, lots of dried Spanish soil. A little one-note but still super tasty

Apr 8th, 2016Estrecho de Enrique Mendoza, capa y densidad alta, buena potencia en nariz, fruta roja madura, cacao amargo potente, notas ahumadas. En boca potente, paso con buena tanicidad y estructura, final quizás demasiado cargado de madera.
