MONTE LA REINA CRIANZA

Toro, Spain

A cherry red color with garnet glints. Clean, bright, and intense in color with a deep robe. On the nose it is powerful and complex. Toasted notes and torrefaction comes through over a bed of jammy black fruit. Balsamic aromas are also prominent and fresh smells tickle the nose. On the palate, the wine is dry, robust, and balanced. Noble, oaky toes with hints of black fruit and candied plums compliment the silky entrance. The finish is long and lingering. A wine with magnitude that will benefit from a few years of cellaring.
