If you like robust reds that provide layers of rich fruit without sacrificing balance and finesse, you MUST try the 2005 Ombra Montsant from La Cova dels Vins. Just approaching its best drinking, this vibrant and youthful red can age gracefully for another five years. Montsant is located in northeastern Spain, neighboring the famous and expensive Priorat. The 2005 Ombra Montsant is blended from low-yielding Garnacha grapes from a 100 year old vineyard, plus Carineña and Syrah. It has developed nicely with its 5 years of barrel and bottle age. Longevity flatters the wine with sophisticated complexity springing from a core of lovely, pure and concentrated fruit.
The aromas are reminiscent of a garden on a hot summer day – black raspberry, rhubarb, a hint of tomato and a whiff of fresh herbs. The concentrated flavors of black cherry, sun-baked herbs, earth and black licorice give a rich mouthfeel and fairly demand a flavorful food to match.
