The 2009 200 Monges Reserva, a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Graciano and 5% Garnacha, matured in new French and American oak barrels for 18 months. It has powerful aromas of roasted coffee, charred wood, dark spices and ripe black fruit. The palate also has plenty of oak-related flavors and abundant, slightly dusty tannins. A powerful, modern Rioja red for fans of oaky reds.
