Organic Jumilla Monastrell
Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
Initially: Not bad for a red. Lots of flavor, not too tannic. After it sat a bit: weird funk at the end. Much harsher. Don't like anymore.

Lots of rust and dried meat on the nose with a obvious void of tannin and mid-palate. Acidity is a little present what is an otherwise watery palate experience.

Mar 4th, 2017For the price it's the best table wine out there. Great with cured meats, sausages, tomato/pasta, boquerones, bolognese, spicy peppers and much more...
