The 2003 Monastrell Dulce is produced from ungrafted pre-phyloxera vines in the style of Banyuls with fermentation stopped by the addition of alcohol. Opaque purple-colored, it reveals a fragrant perfume of prunes, figs, and dates. Thick and rich, it is an excellent match for chocolate and for pouring over vanilla ice cream.Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
