Monastir s.XII Cluny 2006

Smoky, meaty and attractive from the start, with vanilla, tobacco, plum, berry and herbal notes on the nose. Rich, layered and fairly tannic in the mouth, with flavors of tobacco, coconut, sweet berry and cassis. Long, stylish and nice on the finish; a well-oaked blend of 50% Tempranillo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Score - 91. (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 2011)
