A ton of oak as expected! Very young! Vanilla liqueur soaked plums, cedar, nutmeg. Med-heavy mouthfeel with a grill full of fruit tannins. Spain makes you cry uncle, and then breaks out the wooden paddle to whip your ass! How much wood can this Mofo chuck?!! Bring your best Paul Bunyan, and his big blue ox! Two paths converged in a wood...really puts a bit of stick about!! The wood references should go on ad infinitum here. Needs time, and a further update! Nice vanilla note throughout, black cherry, and a dry earthy slope taking shape and deconstructing under the weight of the oaken yoke! #spanishwine #HaciendaMonesteria — 11 years ago
Visited this winery 2 weeks ago which stores it's barrels under the center of town in a cellar hundreds of years old in Estrucian cave. Brought this back after a tasting and it is still wonderful and deserving of its 94 WS rating. A bold punch yet smooth delivery packing dark fruits and tobacco. It's makes me want to bend over, take a paddle to my ass and say - thank you sir may I have another. — 11 years ago
A definite do again. It's OK to be up dry creek without a paddle. — 11 years ago

This is such a treat!!! Rose paddle notes on the nose with hints of light earthiness. On the palate it is pleasant and round and balanced acidity! pairs very well with a steak I'm preparing here tonight!! 🍷 Eccellente!! — 10 years ago
