Tarima Monastrell 2024

We are unlikely to find many wines at this price that are so appealing and thoroughly enjoyable. Although, on observing the Ordóñez signature, we shouldn't be surprised. This little Tarima is a very complete wine: a single varietal Monastrell, an indigenous grape variety, it appears a lively dark Picota cherry colour with abundant tears. On the nose it exudes notes of fine wood, coffee, caramel, very juicy ripe fruit, very refreshing mineral and balsamic notes, a spicy background along with aromas of honeycomb and Mediterranean plants... It exhibits a remarkable richness of aromas with excellent blending. On the palate it is oily, intense, medium-bodied, its persistence is truly remarkable and the aftertaste is extremely long, with a reappearance of the caramel notes. To drink again and again, and to say again and again: a very complete wine.
