The 2009 Tarima Hill reveals sumptuous aromas of camphor sweet smoky oak blackberry and blueberry liqueur and crushed rocks. Deep and full-bodied with silky tannins and a long finish this beauty was aged in 100% French oak for 20 months. -Robert Parker

Also 100% Monastrell but from vines averaging 40 to 75-years in age the 2009 Bodegas Volver Monastrell Tarima Hill is more rich and ripe than the straight Tarima showing rocking aromatics of black and blue fruits roasted meat chocolate and sappy underbrush. Medium to full-bodied on the palate with a decadent yet pure and precise texture that's carried by solid acidity and chewy fine tannin on the finish this serious value is superb now yet should easily continue to shine for 5-8 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
