hot or even close to too much

This is also quite aromatically restrained with its combination of dark cherry

Hacienda Monasterio, Ribera Duero Reserva other_regions Seven percent was fermented in(the same blend as for the 2010 version), Inky ruby. Deeper and darker in character than its younger sibling, displaying scents and flavors of blackcurrant, dried cherry and licorice, with a spicy element adding vivacity. Opens nicely with air, picking up a smoky nuance and a touch of candied rose. Finishes sappy and very long, with velvety tannins building slowly and framing the wine's lush fruit. Josh Raynolds
