Hacienda Monasterio Tinto 2007 Ribera del Duero

Description

This is a lustrous, intense plum-cherry in colour, almost opaque through to a bright, fine rim. The nose presents a beguiling combination of plum, prune and sweet, spiced cherries, punctuated by minerals and enriched by mocha cream. There is a wonderful fresh quality from the outset. The palate reflects similar aromatics and is plump, generous and richly textured with very, very fine, beautifully-integrated tannins, a lovely purity and refreshing acidity.
