Marionette 2012 Monastrell-Syrah (Jumilla)

Country: Spain / Levante
Variety: Monastrell-Syrah
Winery: Marionette /

Gritty aromas of stewed berry, lemony oak, green herbs and tin set up a tannic, chewy, highly extracted palate that’s lacking in elegance. Flavors of chocolate, green herbs, blueberry, vanilla and plastic finish oaky and creamy, with lasting heat.
