2001 Castano Solanera

[dananne]

Yeah, I loved this one, too, with some airing -- decanted about 45 minutes (after pouring and enjoying a first glass). I've bought several, some of which I'm going to lay down for awhile, as I think it may age for a few years.

I talked about this recently on here, and advised Auburnwine to get some at the Atlanta store where he sometimes shops before I snapped it all up (as I did with the Vina Alarba grenache).

Have you tried the Castano Hecula mourvedre yet? RP gave it a 91, it's at the same price point, and I was pretty happy with it, too. A bit rougher, and might need a bit of time. I did not decant, though, on the first bottle i had.
