Hacienda Monasterio, Ribera Duero Reserva Especial other_regions It has an open(78% tempranillo and 22% cabernet sauvignon; aged for 20 months in small French oak barrels), Deep ruby. Intense aromas of blackcurrant, cherry compote and licorice, with a suggestion of sexy oak spices. Supple and broad but lively, with ripe, sweet dark berry flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Smooth, sweet and seamless on the finish, which hangs on with outstanding tenacity and youthful tannic grip. Josh Raynolds
