Soft and seductive, this 100% Tempranillo from Bodegas Riojanas, the 2014 Monte Real Reserva slowly blooms in the glass with plums and black cherries interweaving notes of dusty earth, wet terra cotta, and mahogany wood. In the mouth, tannins are gathered at the fore and mid-palate—they’re fine, yet still tightly wound. Stewed prune and dried figs out the core, leaving in their wake a trail of savory herbs and sweet tobacco. 14.0% ABV | Sample

Fine Vines Fall 2019 Portfolio Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Walk-around tasting, brief note. Very pleasant and enjoyable now, this comes across as fun and balanced, but also shows good substance and upside potential.

Bu en succ.
Un peu too much et boisé en ce moment, corsé et dense
avec pas mal d'extraction...se replacera avec pas mal de temps.
Je passe!
