Montecillo Reserva 2002

Rioja, SpainSpicy, vanilla, sweaty saddle leather, cherry jam, cinnamon, tobacco leaf and barnyard aromas. Round, dry, elegant style with light, tight tannins. Smoky, resin, tobacco, black olive, black cherry, cedar, vanilla, Band-Aid, meaty, rooty flavours. Good finesse, but lacks a bit of mid-palate concentration. Needs 1-2 more years in the cellar.Tasted: 18 May 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
