Capçanes Mas Donis Montsant 2003

This one slipped through the net; I don’t think it really is a cellaring wine. But it wasn’t undrinkable, so I am lucky. In the glass, there was some browning. A rustic nose, rough raspberries, stones, gravel and a touch of old socks. The palate showed red fruits, dried herbs, horse hair, brown sugar and red pencils. Some abrasion on the finish, and certainly better with food. Drink now. 13.5% abv. $25 on purchase. 81 points.

    Is that red pencils on their own or red pencils with brown sugar? I’m off to raid the kids pencil box. Yellow pencils are so hot right now. ;-)

    No censorship. I have the website configured so that first time posters must have their post approved by the admin user. Bill tSS should be okay to post now….
