BELLUM EL REMATE – DULCE 2003 (WINE # 20) / YECLA (ZONE 8) PRODUCER: BELLUM ­SEÑORIO DE BARAHONDA

Rating: 93 points

The sweet 2003 Bellum El Remate is an Amarone­styled offering produced from late harvested Monastrell. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color, a fig and raisin­like character in its perfume of blackberries, chocolate, and scorched earth, moderate sweetness, and wonderful purity as well as intensity. Drink it over the next 3­4 years. This estate is one of the top discoveries of all my tastings.
