Another big Spanish red from Montsant.

WTN: 2009 Aviva Vino Bula Montsant.
$18, 14.5% alc, good cork, open one hour, no sediment, blend of mazuelo, grenache and syrah.
Very dark purple color, nose is quite earthy with blackberry. Dry entry on the palate, medium to full bodied. Firm tannins, plenty of blueberry and cherry. Not for the faint-hearted, held up well over three day period.
