February 6, 2023 - Where to start - a Sisseck wine for the proletariat that rewards keeping a cellar. The silky creamy spicy mouthfeel is what grabs me. The plum and roasted earth aromas and flavors remain buoyed on this intact evolved structure and are afforded focused continuance on the wine’s healthy acidity. For 20$ and a dedicated conscientious mobile cellar this pedestrian wine pleases.

January 15, 2023 - Drink really really well, sour cherry and plum, licorice and leather, polished tannins, good acidity and long drying finish. Mouthwateringly good.

March 24, 2017 - I was stunned this thing still had life in it. But it definitely did.
Cork and fill were great. Wine had a foundation of tart cherry with some balancing earthy flavors and a little tannin still hanging around.
Enjoyable bottle and very impressive that a 21 year old Crianza is still pleasurable to drink. -

January 16, 2016 - “G8 summit – A journey on the Duero-Douro-River” (blind), Wine 14: The wine showed ripe red fruit, leather, tobacco, spices, clove and smoke on the nose. On the palate the medium-bodied, reasonably balanced wine showed red and some dark fruit, chocolate, tobacco and clove, with medium-plus acidity, medium-level tannin, some heat from the alcohol and very good length. Once revealed as Hacienda Monasterio I felt underwhelmed. My first bottle of Hacienda Monasterio, but if this 1997 is a benchmark for Hacienda Monasterio’s quality the wine seems overrated and overpriced to me.
