Hacienda Monasterio Ribera del Duero Reserva - 2004 (750ml) Vougeot or herbal pungencyThe 2004 Reserva delivers a beautifully complex bouquet followed by lush, succulent fruit on the palate. Velvety textured with well concealed tannin, it can be approached now but will be at its best from 2014 to 2029. Hacienda Monasterio is located between Pesquera and Valbuena del Duero. The estate is planted primarily to Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) but there is also some Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Oenologist winemaker Peter
