Rated: 91 by Josh Raynolds, Sep/Oct 09 – Wine Access magazine
Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
Bright red. Expansive and exotically perfumed, displaying scents of cherry brandy, tobacco, vanilla and dried rose. Pliant and deep in cherry/berry flavor, with spicy pepper and clove notes adding complexity. This is pretty sexy stuff, with strong finishing spiciness and lingering sweetness. You could drink this now but I’m sure it will hold up in a cool cellar for at least another decade.

Castano Hecula Monastrell 2008
“The 2008 Hecula is 100% Monastrell sourced from 35 to 60 year old vines and aged 50% in tank and 50% in French oak. Purple-colored, it offers up a compelling nose of underbrush, pepper and blueberry. Ripe, sweetly-fruited, and forward, this crowd-pleaser can be enjoyed now and over the next 4 years.” 89 Points. -Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate April 2010
