93 Points - Jay Miller, Wine Advocate. "Montecastro is a new estate founded in 2001. The 2005 Montecastro is 100% Tempranillo aged in barrique. Purple-colored, it has an alluring bouquet of wood smoke, toast, crushed stone, violets, black raspberry, and blackberry. This is followed by an opulent, full-flavored wine with gobs of spicy fruit, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and 4-6 years of aging potential."

Following successes in the difficult 2002 and 2003 vintages and a quickly sold, superb 2004, 2005 represents the coming-of-age of this great potential superstar producer. Ripe yet fresh, 2005 is packed with varied and complex mineral/fruit elements expressed in a decidedly sauvage style, its extract literally clinging to the sides of the glass. Balance and complexity prevail in a generally sensational taste experience.
