This is a very rich, full, smooth and delicious Mourvedre (or Monastrell here) based wine from Spain. It’s from very old ungrafted (very rare) vines that have been organically farmed since the 1930s.
Wine Advocate 90:
The juicy 2017 Olivares showcases the best characteristics of 2017 in the Mediterranean coast of Spain, a classical year with good ripeness but keeping the freshness and acidity. Other than Monastrell, it also contains some 15% Syrah and 10% Garnacha. After three months in large oak containers, it was bottled to keep the fresh fruit profile, which is akin to biting into a bunch of ripe berries.
