Hacienda Monasterio Crianza 2000
Ribera del Duero, Castilla-Leon, SpainHacienda Monasterio is a relatively young estate directed by Danish winemaker Peter Sisseck. Smoke pepper and black cherry jam aromas mixed with vanilla/leather aromas and a touch of barnyard. Rich round and moderately concentrated. Very spicy, peppery, cherry, black plum flavours with licorice root, vanilla and coffee on the finish. Will need another two to four years to soften the tannins and integrate but you could try with grilled lamb chops or an aged pecorino cheese.Tasted: 26 January 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $61.00 | 750ml | Specialty |
