I'm between very good and outstanding because while it's aging incredibly well, it's just not my style of wine, it doesn't make me go "mmmmm". Medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavors of cranberries, ripe stewed cherries, leather, paprika and smoked meats. #riojaelegance #riojapassion #riojapower #riojalover #riojawine #chirel #tempranilloblend #tempranillo — 7 years ago

Fantastic #riojawine still kicking. What really gets me about the old Monte Real are the sensations of ash and sagebrush and almost tarragon. Very herbal and at the same time smoky nose on this wine. — 8 years ago
