Bodegas Riojanas 2001 Monte Real Gran Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Monte Real Gran Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Riojanas / Rioja

Smoky and earthy smelling, with aromas of tobacco, subtle spice and dried cherry. This feels tight, with more acidity than body at this point in its evolution. Flavors of dried raspberry, plum, earth and brown sugar are solid and classic. Drink now through 2013.
