L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

I was really taken by the floral and elegant nose of the pure Monastrell 2015 Elo. They added Paraje Las Cañas to the wine name this vintage because it was produced from vines planted there, as the vineyard normally used for this wine was decimated by hail. I'm not sure if it's the change of vineyard or the vintage or a combination of both, but this wine reminds me of the great Monastrells from Casa Castillo, with an elegant, balanced personality within a warm, classical Mediterranean year, expressing the place, grape and vintage quite faithfully. The palate is medium-bodied and terribly balanced, with very fine tannins and an overall elegant profile with a chalky texture and a tasty, almost salty finish. Simply superb! It fermented with foot-trodden full clusters in open-top tanks with indigenous yeasts and matured in 500-liter barrels and 2,000-liter concrete vats for 11 months. 2,700 bottles produced.

James Suckling:

A beautiful Spanish red that suggests bright raspberries and herbs with a hint of something a little earthier. Medium-to full-bodied with juicy tannins and plenty of fleshy, tarry fruit. Drink now.
