Monasterio 2007 Bodegas Hacienda

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Peter Sisseck of Pingus fame makes the wines of Hacienda Monasterio. The 2007 Crianza, sourced from estate vineyards, is a blend of 75% Tinto Fino and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec aged for 17 months in 40% new French oak. Deep crimson colored, it offers up an enticing bouquet of mineral, lightly simmered creme de cassis, and compote of black cherry. Savory, ripe, and already complex on the palate, it conceals enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years and will offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2027.

Plum and cassis flavors are ripe and concentrated in this powerful red. It has muscular but balanced tannins, accents of smoke and earth, and a long finish.
