Montecillo Reserva, Rioja, 2013

Posted on

Medium-deep purple-ruby colour. Notes of stewed fruit, black cherry, toasty oak, with meaty-leathery undertones. The palate mouthfeel is dry, medium acidity and tannin of a velvety feel. The alcohol is well-balanced and the wine has a medium weight. Flavours of currant, sour cherry and toastiness come through. Medium length.

Overall, this is a good quality wine and very good if you consider the on-sale price of $14.95. The wine improves if enjoying on the second day, where the black currant note os accentuated and a pleasant bit delicate lilac bud emerges.
