Marqués de Monistrol Tempranillo 2017
Rioja, SpainA youthful expression of Rioja, this combines dark berry fruit with a savoury edge. It’s more fruit-driven than you’d typically expect from the region, rounded out by six months in new French and American oak. The tannins are quite angular and assertive at this point, and you can taste why Rioja is a wine well-suited to long-term aging. It needs a hearty protein if you’re going to open it anytime soon.Tasted: 17 November 2019Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $22.49 | 750ml | private wine shops |
