2004 Hecula Monstrell. Spain, Castano, 14.5% ABV. Deep red, and inky as listed previously. Very tight nose. Perhaps did not allow enought time to decant. Very structured tannins, very dry. Paired with a vegetable beef soup/stew. Purchased at Costco 7.99 (I think). Overall, OK but will try on day 2 after it has had a chance to open a bit.
