Hacienda Monasterio, Ribera Duero Reserva Vintage:2010 while the oldest goes all(the same blend as for the 2010 version), Inky ruby. Deeper and darker in character than its younger sibling, displaying scents and flavors of blackcurrant, dried cherry and licorice, with a spicy element adding vivacity. Opens nicely with air, picking up a smoky nuance and a touch of candied rose. Finishes sappy and very long, with velvety tannins building slowly and framing the wine's lush fruit. Josh Raynolds
