Parker om: Pie Franco

-- Parker: The 2008 Pie Franco was aged for 19 months in 500-liter barrels. It’s quite smoky and feels fresh but might lack the structure and power of the 2006 (my benchmark for Pie Franco) but it’s still true Monastrell and true Jumilla. With toasty sesame seeds, supple, mineral (saline) and finesse, maybe it should have had less time in wood, as the year produced more fragile wines. 94/100

Casa Castillo

Den 500 hektar store finca (250 hektar vinmarker) har været ejet af Sanchez-Cerezo-familien i generationer. Omkring 14 % af vinmarkerne består af gamle Monastrell-plantager (30 år gamle vinstokke).
