Bodegas Castaño
DO Yecla
100 per cent Mourvèdre (Monastrell).
Dark purple, almost black, in the glass.
Nothing on the nose. (I looked up a previous WTN on this vintage and I made a similar comment about a lack of a nose. Strange).
Spicy, good acidic edge, black cherry, blackberry, tobacco, with a slightly unpleasant burned-bitter streak.
Lightly tannic and drying with some black cherry fruit on the finsh.
Rougher and simpler than a previous bottle of this vintage.
Purchased at $13.85 (Canadian).
