A terrific value from 70-90-year old Mourvedre vines, aged three months in American barrels, is the 2001 Monesterio de Santa Ana Monastrell. It displays an excellent deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a big, spicy, earthy nose revealing notions of blue and black fruits. Although hardly a model of finesse, it possesses good substance, a chewy texture, and a robust, heady finish (13.5% alcohol). Consume it over the next several years.
