2006 MONTECASTRO Bodegas y Vinedos Montecastro

2006 MONTECASTRO Bodegas y Vinedos Montecastro

Grapes: Tinto Fino  Origin: Spain, Ribera del Duero
Lea & Sandeman review
Predominantly Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with 3% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, from vineyards ranging in age between six and one hundred years of age. Fermented in concrete tanks and aged for eighteen months in a combination of French (70%), American (25%) and East European (5%) oak, half of which is new and half one year old. Deep in colour and richly spiced on the nose, the first impression is of oak, but this is soon dissipated by the concentrated mineral fruit which gives wonderful drive through the palate. Full bodied, yet lifted and a great pleasure.

Other reviews and comments
A plush texture carries plum, blackberry, hoisin and mineral in this modern red. Firm tannins keep it grounded, while lively acidity keeps it fresh. The first impression is oaky, but fruit, spice and licorice notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2012   90/100
The Wine Spectator
The 2006 Montecastro is a glass-coating opaque purple with an alluring nose of pain grille, earth, mineral, and assorted black fruits. On the palate it has plenty of depth, layered fruit, savory flavors, and impeccable balance. Give this lengthy offering another 2-3 years of aging and drink it from 2012 to 2026   91/100
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Saturated ruby-red. Powerfully scented bouquet of smoky red and dark berries, Asian spices and minerals. Supple and concentrated, offering deep black raspberry and blackcurrant flavors, velvety texture and a late jolt of tangy minerals. Vanilla and cherry-cola qualities cling impressively on the long, sappy finish. This is quite primary but also very promising.   92 (+?)
