Default TN: Hacienda Monasterio, Ribera d.Deuro, 1996

Deepish red colored, a dense perfumed nose, with leather, rum-soaked
plums, and some incense. Dark fruits with a lush sweet denseness to it,
but with hints of sauvagery to keep it interesting. Despite being somewhat
low in acid, the thickness and balance of this would suggest it could be
kept another 5-7 years. The only note of caution might be a slight
medicinal quality that becomes apparent with airing on the finish. Very
well made. A solid A-/90.
