The 2010 Espectacle del Montsant, a 100% Garnacha red, is sourced from three hectares of centenary vines in the Montsant DO of Spain. This vintage is described as having a truly spectacular nose, with such perfume that it almost feels like a white wine, offering notes of lilies, rose petals, lychee, orange blossom, candied violets, and blood oranges. The palate is akin to chewing into maraschino cherries, full of energy, with musky flavours and a great, persistent aftertaste. Despite its 15% alcohol, the wine feels medium-bodied and easy to drink, making you long for the next sip. Critics like The Wine Advocate have lauded the 2010 bottle as "superb, world-class Garnacha: spectacular!" 【 "Superb, world-class Garnacha: spectacular!" by The Wine Advocate. 】 For food pairings, this Montsant red would be excellent with Moorish pork chops with herbed white beans, Puerto Rican veal stew with polenta, or slow-smoked Southern-style BBQ lamb ribs. It also generally pairs well with lamb. This highly sought-after and tightly allocated wine, with only around 5,000 bottles produced annually, is perfect for a celebratory dinner or a special gathering of wine connoisseurs. It's a wine to smell for hours, as it develops and changes like a chameleon in the glass.
