Porta Regia Monastrell Old Vines 5 Months 2020	91 Wine Enthusiast This wine offers a bouquet of black currant and black plum with hints of clove and flint. There are bright flavors of cherry and raspberry, followed by midweight tannins and notes of clove, mint and toffee. Bright fruit and orange zest regain power on into the finish. 90 View from the Cellar The 2020 vintage bottling of 5 Meses Barrica from Porto Regia is a really lovely wine. It delivers fine aromatic complexity in its blend of dark berries, smoked meats, lovely spice tones, a fine base of soil tones, woodsmoke, celery seed and just a touch of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a fine core of fruit, moderate tannins, lovely balance and grip and a long, tasty finish. This comes in at the same 14.5 percent octane as the Old Vines bottling did in 2019 (which I covered a year ago), but it seems fresher and better balanced to me by quite some measure. This is very good wine. 2022-2040. 90 OwenBargreen.com The 2020 Porta Regia Red Wine comes from old vine Monastell. Rich, with a soft mouthfeel, this offers stewed black fruits that combine with saline drenched orange rind and red fruit flavors. Drink 2022-2028.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
