Espectacle del Montsant 2015

The 2015 Espectacle del Montsant is a ripe and classic vintage for this exceptional wine produced from a single vineyard in Montsant. This has a forward personality – open, expressive and showy in the nose – from a typically warm and ripe year that resulted in a voluptuous and hedonistic Espectacle that’s easy to like. It’s rounder and lusher than the 2014 I had next to it, and the two vintages showed very different. The palate is also gentler, with integrated acidity and a soft mouthfeel. Some 6,000 bottles were filled in May 2017. Drink date: 2018-2024. (Luis Gutiérrez,Other,April 27, 2018)
