    Party Time at Wine Library (w/ joe g), Episode #557, 10/14/2008, (See more on Wine Library TV...) 91 points

    (Hacienda Monasterio Ribera Del Duero) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-very ripe; almost dessert like; a bit of a Grape Nuts component; deep dark black fruit & coffee elements (Plum flavored coffee); some Oak Monster; TASTE-so smooth; it's like somebody took a velvet glove and stuck it in your mouth; very heavy on real pure French licorice reduction; grape nuts component; very rich; blackberry; wild brush on the finish; great balance; a little too much licorice, too hot & oaked; but most people would love this; if you're a Napa Cab or Barossa Shiraz fan, you would really love this and think it was a 92-92 point wine; (joe g says, "this wine tastes purple. so long, so rich; so lush; the tannins are shockingly mellow; but the acid is bright, crisp & fresh which makes the wine really, really lively. I'm all about this wine -- it's got balance, length, depth, layers and love."; JM-93; JG-92+ ; GV-91
