100% Monastrell Old Vines - 96 points by Robert Parker WIne Advocate

Excellent harvest in Casa Castillo, although the conditions of the year were hard due to the heat in the month of June and July, already in August and coinciding with the beginning of the ripening grapes the weather began to cool, therefore the ripening period was long and complete, giving dense wines with body and aromas of black fruits and esparto grass. Typical Mediterranean Vintage.
