2018 D.O. Montsant "Costers del Gravet", Catalunya, Spain

Clear, somewhat warm, relatively polished aroma of ripe black and a little red berries with dried floral to slightly tobacco, a little juniper and nutty tones. Ripe, warm, partly dried fruit, present, smoky, coffee-spicy and a little bitter-chocolatey wood spice, lots of tannin, still a little drying, powerful and alcoholic on the palate, some persistence, good to very good, only slightly brittle and alcoholic finish again.

Best to drink: 2023-2027+. What our ratings mean
