Spain’s most fascinating, award-winning and sought-after domaine tells the story of an enlightened vigneron, Jorge Monzón, from the two years he spent working alongside Bernard Noblet at the magical Domaine de la Romanée Conti, a year at Vega Sicilia, and 10 at Arzuaga Navarro, before returning to his home village of Aguilera in the Ribera del Duero. The humble and brilliant Jorge has collected the best old vines in the area, and with his talent, experience in seeking excellence in the smallest details, and vision in cherishing the ancient traditions of the Ribera, he is shocking the world with some of the greatest whites, clarets and reds in Spanish history.
Points: 99 Robert Parker
" It has a very intense nose of licorice, flowers (decayed violets), wet chalk, spices (nutmeg), some nuts (pecan) and a volatile twist with great freshness. It matured in French oak barrels for 53 months. It has a fine thread, a chalky and dry feeling, fine tannins and a dry and very tasty finish that's almost salty. It has all the components and the balance with them to develop nicely in bottle. It should act effortlessly for 30 years. It's very impressive, but it doesn't reach the elegance of the 2016."
