2020 Monte Real Rioja Reserva De Familia - 750ml

James Suckling - 92 points

Monte Real Reserva 2020 exhibits an appealing deep cherry red hue with vermilion edges. On the nose, it features a blend of fresh red fruits, such as strawberries and raspberries, alongside stewed ripe fruits and a hint of liquorice. On the palate, it is fleshy and silky, with a concentrated profile that highlights the enchantment of liquorice and the sweetness of ripe fruit. Notes of chocolate, clove, and nutmeg contribute a spicy and balsamic touch, making this wine an elegant and complex choice.
