This is a typical old school Rioja with maturity bringing leathery, earthy notes to the ripe black olive/prune fruit...

Some toasty chocolatey oak on the nose but pairs nicely with the graphite, blackberry and ripe black cherry aromas....

The 2008 Montecillo Reserva, aged in oak for at least 3 years, has light notes of yeasty/earthy cherry, dark chocolate and oak. It is a light to medium bodied, extra-dry, fruity to integrated wine; with forward acidity, refined tannins (decant for 30+ min) and a medium finish. It is a food friendly wine; drink now - 2016. My impression: NOTHING SPECIAL, 87-88 pts. Tasted Jan/14.
