2018 Hacienda Monasterio, Ribera del Duero, Spain

Description

An interesting blend of mostly Tempranillo, but with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot added in to give hints of Bordeaux. The nose is pure red fruit with lots of fresh bramble notes, strawberries and cherries. Very rounded and silky on the palate with hints of vanilla, cedar and sweet spice in the background. All the complexity lingers on the palate, this wine really is very classy. Give it a year to round out, and you won’t be disappointed. Drink 2021-2032.
